Tail light mod w/ molding

thought i'll try this with the tails, since i've done my HL prior. the material is a 1/8 karome molding. anything thicker/wider than 1/8 will be tough to go around sharp/tight corners.
if i want to change up, its easy to remove it.
lemme know what you think.
thanks.
eric.

I dont like it. Maybe if you removed the two vertical pieces (between the trunk lamp and the fender lamp) it would look better IMO.

i say take it off. A black car suppose to look tough. It looks soft with those chrome light linings. The chrome trunk lid trim alone is enough. Dont over do it.

Looks good but I would just keep it around the lights and not on the lights. I had that on my tinted tails but I got bored of it in a month and removed it. I have this stuff on my side door moldings and looks good although mine is worn out, I need to redo it. Most people think the car came stock with that chrome, when they do I take that as a compliment.

Mine are chrome metal. I didnt get them on ebay though. The ones on ebay are not the best quality from what I have seen in person.
