I hate the GT tailights, personally I think they are hideous. I made the LX swap and a cobra wing in the back, looks good imo..

I'm not talking about the "cheesegrater" ones. Mine are the same as the LX except just have amber on them while the LX's are all red and white. For me it would just be a small change but a good one.

You can see the GT's on the white one, how the amber and white are on top instead of just white. That's what mine look like.

$115?!
Jesus... When my winter beaters broke from trying to get out of a snowbank I went to a junkyard to getm.
I paid $40 for both of em. They were even on a rack already pulled out of a car.
No cracks, dings or nothing on em either

I like the 83-86 and 93 Cobra taillights the best. I don't like how there's void areas on the LX taillights between the reverse, tail, and brake lights unlike the 83-86 taillights where it's all flush.
