    Default $5 tail light mod

    I dont know if anybody had done this (to a magna)
    but $5 at autobarn for 6mm pinstripe i think it looks cool
    and yes it would look heaps better with a colour coded bumper but i only had $5
    If you don't get Madmagna to fix your car your a bloody idiot!!!

    At least it wasn't silver pinstriping, over the whole tail light - then someone would have to dope-slap you...

    Mind you, if you get rear ended, be careful of the insurance company trying to get out of the claim by saying that the pinstriping reduced both the visibility and effectiveness of the tail lights in the case of an accident. Also (believe it or not) it is a defect item - under ADR's the radiating surface of a retro-reflector cannot be blocked yada yada...

    Cheers

    i disagree, any car except for dark cars (black, dark greys) look **** with tinted lights.
    Just like dark cars look **** with clear lights.

    Just my opinion.

    Yep, I did the pin stripe thing to my lights. IMHO I like it as it sets my ride apart from others. If anyone is interested i shall post pics with brakelights on and off. I don't think it reduces visibility but you guys be the judge and jury.
