you could fade the edges of the lines, shave one or the other or both,
whatever you do, do something, they look bad if you shave the lights and keep the lines stock

IMO, you could keep the lines, but fade the edges so you have something to bring attention to the rear.
(but i'm not even positive on what im gonna do with mine)

i say u put lights from a colbalt, or minicooper in the tailgate, or put bug lights on a 90º angle where factory lights were.

I shaved both lines on mine....i used heavy fiberglass filler to fill iin the most part...and then some good rage filler....i had the gate on my old truck for almost a year and never had any probs with cracking......you could also weld some strips of metal in...That would take forever, that would be almost 12 ft of welding TAC BY TAC....
