Red or Clear Tail Lights for a Silver Vantage?

Hi all,

Considering going with the clear tail lights on my silver Vantage. Below are pics of two silver Vantages, one with red tail lights and one with clear ones. I'm thinking clear looks pretty good with silver, but I want your input. Which do you like better? Also, does anyone know where to get clear side and rear marker lights so I can match the tail lights?

Thanks!

Racing Sport Concepts has great deals on these items, ask for Hershel:
rsctuning.com/

I actually have the same car and tinted them and then had a body shop paint all the vents on the hood and side matte black with graphite rims... it looks really aggressive and was WAY cheaper.

If you do clear send a photo. I've debated this issue with myself for my Titanium Silver AM.

I much prefer the red. Looks much more classic, but if you are going for a modern look then go with the clear.

I hated the clear taillights because they looked like those $20 ones you find on ebay, but the more I look at the the more I like them...

I say go for the clear!

I personally like the red. The clear to me look ricey (if that is a word). I think the red is classic. However, I think smoked would look great on a silver car.

I think the Clear works better with darker color cars and the Red is better with lighter colors.

Thanks to all of you who responded. So what's my decision? Still not sure.

Regardless, I'm not going to do anything now b/c I found out that it'll cost over $2,000 to go clear (much more than I had assumed). I'm thinking that, at least for now, that money is better spent on some performance mods.
