Tail lights covers, Yes or No?

I have a set of slotted tail light covers that I had used when I had the rear trunk blacked out. Now that I have installed stripes I am not sure whether I like it more with or without. What do you guys think??

Put the blackout panel back, over the stripe or sell them to me @ a discount.

I don't care for them with that color combo. I've seen them on colors I like, like red or vista blue, but not with yours.

hmmmm, that's pretty much unanimous. I think I will keep them off. Thanks for your input guys. I guess I'll have to sell them unless I can fit them on my wifes trailblazer

Agree with the others. I have the same ones and only like them when the panel is blacked out.

You have to have a blackout panel for that style of covers to look right ....

I agree with everyone else...except get the CDC black out panel and delete that fake gas cap!

+1, and paint them if you want them to match better. I wonder how Mark's would look painted Satin Silver.

John,
I had given that some thought and was considering trying to photoshop them so see how it would look. Since I had already painted mine black with a clear coat I figured it might be more work than it's worth. Plus I've had a few inquiries from people who want to purchase them from me, so they will probably get sold.
Just for S & G, I might try a photoshop on them anyway just to see. (This will probably take me longer than if I stripped the covers and repainted them, LOL)
