But sort of getting back to the OP's question, I actually don't think the honeycomb on the tailights look that bad except on the pic of the silver car with the honeycomb blackout panel. BOTH make the back end look too busy. But I think, on the lights by themselves, they match some of the other honeycomb trim (look at your front end).

As long as they don't hinder the ability to see the tailights or hunder their function, there's nothing to base them as being illegal.

(dominator, can I take my comment out of my *** now? It really itches...)

And as far as the comment about puking on my car regarding a mod that mayo was considering for his car, if I recall I prefaced that with "No offense but..." which makes it ok. hehehehe

And thanks for the creme.

BTW, if you DO put those on your tailights, post some before and after pics.

It's all good...

(no i have not corrected, nor have any intention to correct either violation.)

Have you considered tinting (Smoke tint) your rear tail lights and 3rd brake light?
American Muscle sells them and they are not too dark.
I've had them on for several months now and had no issues with the cops. I live and work near a college campus, therefore the cops are everywhere. Just a thought.

yeah i like the tinted tail lights on some of the black or yellow stangs ive seen.but with my sequential tail lights and idiot drivers, i might just keep it stock....im curious if you have to remove the tail lights for the tint job..and how hard it would be to get the tint off if i didnt like it..

Well, if it's any help...
Everytime I drive past the dealer, my middle finger is up.
And no, I ain't shoving things up my *** cause of that!

And Marcus is right, that civic exhaust tip on that sixxer is rather... out of place.
Here's something that deserves to be up the owner's ***, lol.
