oo that gay crap...lol my friend did that to the front of his mustang. what it is, its comes in a kit rite.. and there are differnt shapes.. like differnt kinds of round ones... and thay are stickers that you stick on there then spray paint the whole linse.. and when you peel the stickers off you have those desings in red.. (because the stickers kept the black paint off of them)..... idk if you want to do it now that u know how chep it is....

see i figure since they dont make any kind of aftermarket carbon tails for my car, i was thinking of getting a cabon fiber center piece where the red GT one is...and then spray the rest. or even get a carbon fiber sticker kit and putting it in the lense with the same designs cut out.

Say no way to carbon tails on your tailights. Otherwise it look uglier. Leave your stock taillight!

it's cheaper if u do it in sticker just slap it on there and cut circles but in my opinion i would leave them as is.

ventshade used to make them (sort of)... they were called "gts blackouts" makes them but they're all tinted... (but they're pre-formed to your taillights) so you can just cut out whatever design you want...
You could also form clay up against the stock taillights to make a mold then make a plug then pour on/in some platic that will harden... I'm sure a company makes exactly what your're looking for but I don't know the name... I know on hi-revtuners or nopi tunervision they have an add for the company that does... I just never pay attention.. it's the gay commercial with 3 hot chicks rubbing up against some civic with "turbo vents" and headlight accents... ugh. If I were you I'd check out nopi.com and jcwhitney.com... basically any apc heavy place will carry what you're looking for.

http://www.carxpressions.com/exterio...ightcovers.htm
http://www.performancepartz.com/prod...roducts_id/175 http://ameriplanusa.autoworldaccesso...hiclemake=Ford http://www.andysautosport.com/ford/93_97probe.html A LOT of those links aren't directly to what you need but ALL of those companies either sell or can get you what you want... Try searching google for stuff like this... I tried "abs accents" "taillight covers" and a couple other things... it comes up with a decent amount of links... As mentioned I think they look rediculous. but it's your car/money so have at it.

Not to offend, but that black probe looks pretty bad... not a fan of the wing, and the tailights are awful. Your stock tails look nice, a good red that blends them in with the rest of the car. No sense messing with something that already looks good...

^ I'm going to have to agree with Highlander, those templates just don't cut it and 99.9% of people make fun of them. Look harder and I'm sure you can find some decent tailights, just steer clear

My guess would be he's still in the middle of painting it?
Anyway....no dude..honestly..i think that year probe tail lights fit the car really well. Don't do anything permanant to your taillights. You MIGHT regret it. I know I did...I know it's not my car...but I say if your going to do it. Find an extra set and then do it to those ones. But always keep your other tail lying around. That way you won't have to worry about the stock set!

Leave them alone. They look good red. Matches the car.
But I imagine vinyl would be the easiest way to do that.
