Which taillight configuration looks better?

[eclipsekid]

So I ordered the JDM taillights off ebay. I put on the two side lights but am leaving the middle piece out and just thinking about keeping it stock in the center. I could paint the same color red as the rest of my car and logo or I could just keep it like it is (darker red) or maybe do a black center with logo. Please tell me which you think looks better.

A


or

B


or

C


or
None of the Above

Thanks

Im going to say the center piece painted red, same as the car. The other two just dont look right to me.

B looks the best, but the unpainted looks close. Don't go with C.

[krutoyklipse]

I think you should get the b. Its lookes the best on it.

[crunchymilk55]

none of the above

on a read 2gdsm, stock taillights and painting the center to match the car looks amazing. It looks best in red.

I like A, but stock tail light look the best ( just my ).

[clipsekid99]

None.

I love the stockers with the middle piece painted to match the body.
I would do it to mine, but since I have the dark red metallic color, the stock unpainted middle piece already looks like it

sell your after market tail lights and get new ones.....those are mine no fair

Alright those were all great responses, thanks guys. Turns out, I went out today and got primer, paint and clearcoat. I took the middle taillight piece (JDM) and sanded it with 600 grit, 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of color, 3 coats of clearcoat. It looks fantastic! I've never spray painted anything that looked that good before. When everything dried to touch, I put it next to my car and realized that I had the wrong color It was a shade lighter (and more orange looking) than the color of my car. I feel like a retard Here I am spending all day on painting this thing, it turns out to be the best paint job I've ever done, and it turns out to be the wrong color. Well, I guess the lesson here is, if your going to paint anything on your car then CHECK THE COLOR CODE OF YOUR CAR FIRST! Don't just put the cap of the spray can next to your car and think it looks like the right color.

I did check later on and my color code is R87 (Radiant Fire). For those of you who don't know, the color code is on the sitcker on the passanger side on the firewall. I may go out and find this paint and try again but I feel like a dumbass. Dunno, maybe I'll just leave it be with the stock center piece in there. I just am getting kinda bored with the stock taillights (sides) even though they do look pretty descent. I just need something different for a change. I'm done my book now.

p.s. Haha, did anyone notice the horrible job I did blurring out my license plate. That's a 1 minute photoshop for ya.

none,

paint center with stock like me. Altezzas are gay. No ricer is complete without then. They are just way over done and played out. and look chezzy

Alright, I recovered from my mistake in picking the wrong color. I went out got the right color, repainted last night and finished putting new badging on. Here's the final result.





I think this looks really great in person (pat self on back). Plus I really haven't seen anybody with this same type of configuration. I also think that when you paint the center, that the eclipse badging should be left on, it just looks kinda weird without it.

I like the way it looks with the new tails, it seems to fit your car.

I think it looks good, I like stock better. But those are the only aftermarket lights that I think look good. Good job.

[TreeFrog]

yeah i think it looks decent. i def like my stockers better. But i do know someone here in town with the same exact set up on a converted tallon tsi awd. his car is the same color too...

[drdisque]

sorry, but your taillights aren't "JDM". The Eclipse wasn't sold in Japan and if it was, it would just be the same as USDM taillights but with yellow turn signals (like the few european eclipses had).

Other than that, ya, altezzas are lame.
