Default looking for advice on my 97 tailights

I a going to do vynil
(sorry do not know how to spell that)
on my rear tail lights on my 97 Tib.

the cars green with yellow graphics, like you all don't already no that ,
but anyways, I am debating on wether i should use the same color as the car (green) or go with yellow to match the graphics.

of course there will be holes cut out for the lights,

but any ideas of color?

Thanks,

Unless you are going to redesign your existing graphics to wrap around the tail, go with green. otherwise the yellow tails will look like an afterthought... Just my $0.02

How much is the vinyl going to cost you?
If it's relatively cheap, do it.
If you don't like it, take it off.

Personally, I think it's going to be really hard to get a good look out of this. There's going to be a seam where the body panel and the taillights don't match up, and this seam is going to make it obvious that the covered areas aren't continuous with the body panels. It's going to look like exactly what it is: a taillight covered with body-coloured vinyl.
