Well i was playing around in class today and started having some fun in photoshop. Sorry about the lousy photoshop tint. But i shaved off the trunk lock and then got going on the rear reflector and i kinda started to like it. What do you guys think about it? Should i look into getting it covered over? Cause i dont really like the look when its just painted, and im probably gonna get the trunk lock done too. Here is a before and after pic.

not bad, I like it except for the trunk lid, I like it the way it is
when I did a photo shop of tint on my car I zoomed in as far as I could with the whole window on the screen and that gave me a cleaner looking edge, but the was the second time I tried and it came out well enough

For some reason, it reminds of a Nissan Maxima tail end...  I like the trunk lock gone, but leave the reflector alone...

I've pondered the idea before, and though it is an awesome thought, the tail lights just do not have enough style to pull it off. When you take away the lines the reflector has, it leaves those straight looking tail lights to stare at. 
Edit: I think I chopped Y2KSVTs car once and it turned out fugly looking.

The trunk looks way too plain and empty without the reflector.

No its just becuase when he did the photoshop on it he took some of the " roundness" out of the picture .
