I'd leave it alone, not a fan of the painted reflector, however if you do paint it,leave the chrome alone!

Always told you the painted reflector is the one to go with. That is what makes your car yours.

I like lightly tinted tails but thats about it.





Totally stock is what I like, but maybe painting the chrome strip to match the front might be good.

I think if you don't like the reflector than you shouldn't have one. Don't paint over it. Doesn't flow right.

Just get a Pre-98 trunk instead.
