I agree the tailights are the biggest design flaw of the entire car (along with the third brake light). So far I've just lived with it and will probably continue to do so. (If that's my biggest problem I've got it made.)

My thoughts exactly! I would rather spend the $ on something that actually has functionality. If anything, the taillights would be at the very bottom of my upgrade list.

For the most part I agree with you but I had to get my windows tinted.

Not sure if its only aesthetics because I needed the heat kept out of my car here in Texas as it gets hot as a mothafracker!!!!!!!

Tint is both aesthetics and function.

I custom vinyl wrapped mine to get the deep red color a while back, and it started to peel. No problems with cracking or what not, but they are not going to last forever. Waiting on USDM Tom's limited edition now...
