The best reason NOT to get Blacklines!

So I was driving through the Minneapolis Metro area the other day during rush hour when I was passed by a Pontiac Grand Prix and saw this...

I've never been a fan of Blacklines, I think they look dirty. Although they do look good with certian colors.

PS. These are a factory item from Pontiac.

hahaha you have to be pretty intoxicated to liken those pontiac lights to blacklines.

The closest I've seen to blacklines would be the rears on the facelifted Lincoln LS.

LOL...it seems like you got everyone...the oem on that pontiac looks even worse than the pontiac's "Blacklines". You must be kidding comparing pontiac's design to BMW's OEM.

Dare I make a recommendation: "LASIX"

EDIT: BTW those are not called blacklines. They are referred to as "Craplines"
