Default Opinions needed on taillights.

I'm getting a slight taillight "conversion" done. I have a 96 Accord coupe, and I am having the inner trunk lid lights welded closed and putting in new IS300 inner trunk lights.



I'm a cheap bastard, so I'm just doing the inner and not the outer. What I need to know is what you guys will think look better.

These (I will paint the chrome to gun metal):

Painting the chrome gunmetal.

Oh yeah, the reason I was going to paint it gun metal is because I have a slight theme going on here. I have a Championship White Accord with a Black Widow kit, carbon fiber hood, knock off JDM headlights, gunmetal Racing Hart C2 Evos. I am very tempted to get this spoiler too.



The rear just seems like it needs something more

After seeing the spoiler, I can tell you're well on the road to the altezzas. Get whatever you want bro, stock is underrated. I suppose the S-type's are the least offensive there.

Alright, I won't get the spoiler, I just don't want it to get ricey. I seriously don't know how those taillights are going to look with the is300 inner tail lights.

I'm not trying to make it look like an Altezza or IS300, I just want to know what you guys think looks best

I dont know 5th gens that well.. but can you just put a 94-95 (i think 95 didnt have trunk lights??) lid on a 96? I'd do that .. i dont like the trunklid lights at all.

but what do i know i own an old POS 4th :thumbup:

i think you're pretty much stuck getting those altezzas tho if you really are hellbent on putting is300/altezza lights where the lid lights were.

94-95 tails don't fit on a 96-97. The stock lights don't look too good on it with the IS300 inner trunk lights

Maybe someone can photoshop the S-Types with the IS300 inner lights...if you're gonna get a spoiler, get something painted that only has one deck. I dunno how it is where you live, but around here everyone I know laughs at that crap.
