The issue with the 72 tail light lenses is that they have a horizontal line to them, which really breaks up the vertical lines of the decklid / bumber / valance. Capsule's mockup using the 71 lenses really keep with the whole vertical line of the back of the car, and really look great.
The GTO bumper hack is so ugly I might just have to remove it from the site simply to maintain our family-friendly environment.

Something that ugly should never be seen by anyone under the age of 21. Heck, that bumper & tail light configuration is ugly even on the GTO!

Here's an alternative rear design, what do ya' think?
Capsule
much friendlier. . . .and it's ergonomically designed!

Oh No GTO stuff, please. I'll be sick for a week after looking at that. Like the wife crowning when giving birth.
I kinda like Capsules Idea with the green car the best. Maybe thin out the black cross-section a bit.
