If all goes as planned, we will be moving the Enterra over to the shop tomorrow.

Easy fix if you just paint the area between the rear tail lights and lightly smoke the lens, but paint the "ribs" black. That's what I would do if it was my car. Next, paint the deck lid vents black and maybe those vents in and around the car. This will give the car some contrast especially with a white paint job. The black high lights will also match the two tone Asanti wheels.

I'm not feeling the Fiero GT or the Enterra taillights and right now I don't want to cut up the back just to redo the taillights. Troy ordered a set a Cavalier lights and is going to have them sanded smooth and smokked to see what that looks like.

I like those suggestions. I've always wondered what the point was of leaving those holes in the rear bumper unoccupied.

With the bumper being painted black (which I think is a good idea), wouldn't it be too much black if the entire tail light panel was also painted black? I wonder if there's enough room at the bottom of the panel to leave a "stripe" of white across the back panel between the bumper and the tail lights... just enough to retain some contrast?

I say have some custom panels cut out, back lite "Enterra" on one side and "Vipre" on the other side. Something like Pontiac did with the Fastback taillights. Either that or use the blank spots for some Viciously Bright Backup Lights. Something on a switch where someone pulls up behind you with their bright lights on, you can flip a switch and darn near BLIND them for a split second. At the very least you should be able to scare them enough that they won't want to be driving behind you. Just please don't paint it black like a Bumper Pad Fiero. That is just cruel. Even for a car that I honestly don't have love for, that would be mean.

Nothing on an Enterra would ever resemble a bumper pad Fiero... nothing, no matter what color anything was painted.
IMO black bumpers on a white Enterra look really sharp, and that's from someone who loves these cars.

IMO, Lisa should keep the body of the car all Lambo White and just play with black wrap on the bumpers, this way if she doesn't like it or if someone bumps it ,it can be easily removed or repaired without a trip to the paint shop. Lisa wants the grills powder coated black.
Guys I just want to thank you all so much for all of the input and help you are giving Lisa. She has a tough Job running our house hold and Raising our three kids me being the 3rd  . Her job is 24/7 and we drive her crazy but this is turning out to be one of her enjoyable outlets.[This message has been edited by troyboy (edited 12-12-2012).]

. Troy ordered a set a Cavalier lights and is going to have them sanded smooth and smokked to see what that looks like. As far as the color, I am leaning towards the Lamborghini balloon white.
