I painted my taillight covers

I have never started a thread here but wanted some input what do you think? I have not put them on yet and not sure if I want to start over and make them black

Looks good! The Sooners frame on Kansas plates gets my vote though.

Go Sooners

Looks good. Did you paint them yourself? I'd say only paint them black if you plan on getting a honeycomb panel from SHR or a the CDC decklid panel.

looks good. Now you need some sequential tail lights to go with them...

I have the sequentail tail lights that was the first thing I did.
I did paint them myself but I think they are kind of dark. It has been overcast all day so I have not had a good look in the sun yet.
If I went with the black I would go with this panel.
And GO SOONERS!!!

Keep them body color! They look good. I've been waiting for someone to try this mod.

I like them better stock. But that's what makes the world go round!

looks good... but i also think that black would look good on your car color too for a bit of contrast.. i guess either way, it will match your car.

i got those covers too, but i left them as-is. matches my alloy nicely.

The sun came out so I took some pics to show how close the match is. I am going with the MG not black. They look better in person.

Not bad at all! Reminds me of the 95-98 Mustangs...
