What are those silver things beneath the reflective strips? My 89 doesn't have those..

Keep the silver things or the reflective strips, not both. It looks a little cluttered with both things on there, especially with the clean white paint job.

Slick car, I always said a caddy looks it's best in white, or black.

take the reflectors off. leave those for the 86 or 87 and up broughams.

I'll give it a thumbs down. Too much. Sometimes, less is more.

I agree with the rest of the folks. I like there strips on my 87 but I dont have the "silver things" either. I would choose one or the other.

I never did like the reflectors, on any Brougham. IMO yours looks much cleaner with just the chrome.

I prefer the silver accents on the trunk as opposed to the reflector strips that are on there. There's reflectors on the bottoms of the tail lights so they aren't necessary. I was actually thinking about taking mine off....

Since you asked, lose 'em.

lochenjons · #11 (**permalink**) 03-16-07, 05:27 PM

honestly, i like them. but then again i dont like them. i just like something different i thought it looked a little plain back there. ill post some pics up in a second of some different angles and see what you guys think

okay well i just took them off. you guys were right. it looks a lot better with them off now that i look at it. i just wanted to try something new and thought the way that they looked was kinda cool. well ive had my fun and now its back to the classics.
