I don't mind cheese graters on a red or black car, but i don't know about other colors. I'd have to go with '83-86 style or pin striped SVO style.

For me the GT tails fit in with the whole overall look of the car. If yours are clean then sport 'em. If you need replacements i've seen alot of nice Cobra style as well as the 87-83 LX style. That's what makes these cars great: OPTIONS!

Cobra!!! Or '86 style.

The LX tails look too plain on a GT IMO; the cheese graters are good for nostalgia. I have Cobras but I keep the graters in storage for safe keeping.

My 93 LX still has the stock lenses, my 86 GT has cheese graters due to the stock lenses being cracked.

Cobra. The yellow block adds a little flavor to the light that I like on a dark car.
