Gen 3 Tailights - Too plain... Ideas?

[georgethedog]

I really like my Gen 3 convertible, but I have always thought the tail lights just seemed very drab for a sports car. That is one of the main reasons I want to convert to a Street Serpent someday, but until then maybe there is something that someone has come up with to make those look a little better. Any thoughts/ideas? I did a search and did not come up with much. They just seem so "plain Jane" on a car that looks so great from every other angle. Kind of like how Dodge uglied up the rear end of the Dodge Stealth. The sister car "Mitsubishi 3000GT" looked a heck of a lot better. Anyway, thanks. Man, I am busy this holiday weekend thinking of ways to spend my wife's money!!!

Haha yeah you are. Painting the lower rear fascia satin black changes up the rear quite a bit, along with adding a low rise Hennesey spoiler. No one will look at the taillights then!

I have mine filled with water and gold fish and think it is really snazzy!!

That's the way they should have looked from the factory, except what the heck did you do to the rear valence/ diffuser area...................ouch, fix me fix me!

I might be mistaken, but I aren't the Gen 2 and Gen 3 taillights the same on some models? I added LED's to mine and it made a huge difference!

Thanks guys for the ideas!!! This board is very cool. I think I will try the fish tank idea first!

Street Serpent very nice, but what did happen to the underneath or is that just reflections from taking the picture?

It just looks like wetsanding residue trails that didn't get cleaned up after the paintjob...they'll wipe right off

They're the same on the Gen III coupes...the one piece that carried over from the Gen II

Hate the Hennessey front end but LOOOOVEEE the rear-end

Hennessy rear end for me this spring. That looks awesome. Street serpent is still the best looking though.

Actually just some road mud residue. Got stuck going thru a wet mud detour (really pissed me off) and missed it when I washed it. With how low my rear is, I need a creeper to get under there! Might have to photoshop that dirt off as I really like that picture.

I like the lights but just thought they were too red. Soo I had mine sprayed with a tinted clear. Came out awesome and not too dark...

Looks nice. Spray in inside, right? Who does such work--a regular body shop? Would most body shots know what you mean??

Inside? No they paint the outside just like anything else. Any body shop should know how to do it.
