Make sure you keep an option for the two outermost upper cells in clear, the resat in red, like your original - I think that looks the best and is in keeping with current Porsche lenses, IMO.

I really like those. I was planning to paint mine all red with the Testor's transparent red paint (I probably still will) but I'll spring for a set of these in all red. What I like is how they dont look like individual square blocks anymore. The vertical black lines between the sections looks like it's gone. They have a look a little more along the lines of a 968 tailight. How do the reverse lights shine through with the lens all red? I don't care if the turn signal is red, I actually like that idea better, anyway.

Almost done guys....

Completed lenses and install kit for under $100....Still working on it....working on it now....I should still be done tonight as planned and mounted on my car to give you guys an idea of how they look on the car...Both styles.....And I will also post pic's of how the light bulbs shine through..to give you guys an idea of how it works....I will post the info tonight, late tonight....And they do look almost like 968 style...all of the same reflection pattern is key and no more cells to the modernized look..!

Now for those that want all red on the bottom, and white reverse, and turn signal with red brake on top...! This will not be done...Rather I will be able to make you guys just the corner and reversre lenses like I have on my car now, rather than the entire taillight lenses as shown above..My reason for this is because different color means different lenses....I cannot make the top lense one piece and still have different colors for different cells...
