No sherns car is a 93, with a 97+ kit and 95-96 tails... I think i've seen every thread on his car, it was a big inspiration for me when i first got a SC.

You're car will look good with any of the three sets of taillights. I would personally go with 95's or 97's depending on whichever is the cheapest.

Matt, when I first got my '99 I hated the tails and loved the way the 95'-96's looked. But after a while the 97+'s grew on me. Your car looks great the way it is, but it's your decision.

i say keep your 92 tails man. Why, because the red color of your car really blends in well with them as-is.

to hell with the damn 97+ tails already..

Keep what you have. I have yet to see what is so appealing about 97+ tails. That ugly a$$ chrome trim around them reminds me of the chrome door guard trim I use to put on my Accord in 91. To my eye that makes them look older, not more updated.

I had 92s, currently have 95s, and just purchased some 97s. Ill probably put them on side by side and make a final decision, but Im leaning towards the 97s on a wingless trunk.

^+1 the 92-94 tails are growing on me and I'm starting to love them over the 95-96 or the 97+ for some reason.
