This is what I came up with: anyone else approve? How hard would it be to get some center reflectors molded in Carbon Fiber, provided there was a substantial interest? just throwing some thoughts around. -Chris Chris Hinds AIM:CJ111010 1998 Contour GL Duratec 5-Spd #565/???? 15.610 @ 89.62mph And I payed for it all myself

There would be no consistency, whatever color car, red tails, and a random strip of black. The red tails would not flow well into black then back to red at each end. I say either make them look like they are part of the car (body color Or make them look like they are part of the tail lens assembly (stock) 98 3.0 svt: Sold

Not dissin you personally, but why are some people so obsessed with Ninjas? anyways. I was thinking, Either carbon fiber, OR a way to smoke the center piece gray without a red tent, and smoke the tailights.

Why just stop with that go all out.
