i say go blue. white would just look like more altezza gayness. i'd stay black, or go blue. but if you go blue, you better have some other blue to back it up...like mag blue wheels or something. and it better be a dark blue. nothing gay.

(and if im wrong, just ignore what i said, ive opened up plenty of headlights, not many taillights)

matching the taillight color to the car can turn out nice if matched properly, go with what you want.. and if you dont like it, redo it! dont be afraid to experiment.
Hate to break it to you but Curt is right. The taillights are like bonded with a glue unlike the headlights which can be heated up and pulled apart.

Exactly! You'll have to cut to open the tails but you can use heat to open the headlights.

Yeah, I hate chrome.

When I was young and first saw F&F I thought it was bad ***. I remember I sued to want a honda and first thing was the chrome rear and a big loud muffler and air intake..

HAHAH

Im going to go look at some paint tomorrow and get down to this. I jsut found out I have no school because of snow. First im going to try with my cracked IX tail.. if its a phailure.. I quit.. If it looks good, I continue
