LOL Especially on lighter colored cars. <img src="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f143/kl2dc/vios.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> I still maintain that on the right color, blacklines (and debadging) do make the rear end look wider and eliminates the pinched butt look of the standard tail lights. I think the rear treatment is the weakest part of the car, stylistically. There is too much tension in the lines especially in darker cars (contrast between the lights and the body highlights this). That's why blacklines are a popular mod on darker cars, the blacklines designs 'eases' this design tension. <img src="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f143/kl2dc/e90tail.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Also I love how they fit with the character line that runs down the side of the car. They look well integrated and cohesive. The stock lights almost seem like afterthought. <img src="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f143/kl2dc/DSC04155Small.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
