Default Clear tail light option

It does not make sense to order this option when you are ordering your car and here is why:

I ordered mine with std tail-light. Yesterday I called Suncoast and they quoted me $760 for the clear kit that includes the 3 lights including wing and that's with PCA membership. I then called my dealer and their price was $700. If you order the clear taillight after fact you will have both sets and only cost you $50 more for both sets. Clear tail light option when ordering your car is $650

Oh, the PCA membership will save you a bunch when ordering with Suncoast. Their non PCA membership price for the clear tail light was $1060, I believe so the PCA membership will pay for itself and more.

Cheers

They need to make a clear rear BRAKE light that's on the spoiler.

With the clear tailights, the brake light makes it look like you've got Rudolph's nose planted on your ***.

whenever calling Suncoast make sure to give inform them that you are a PCA member to get the discount. It makes a big difference based on the quote I got on this part. I would think other parts have the PCA discount as well.

IDK about POC. Suncoast made a mistake on the pricing. The cost of the rear tail light is $539 which means by ordering it after delivery you will save $100 and have an extra set of tail lights.

Suncoast sells those for $109. I already changed them. The light is LED but amber when they are on.

I dunno, I think the after the fact clear option is still $700 overpriced.

I was just being facetious since I'm not a clear light fan.

Interesting to note that they list the GT3 2 piece (991) kit as $539, but for the Turbo its a 3 piece kit (including center) for $695.

Too bad that the ROW version (with yellow turns) is not interchangeable with the US version due to missing side light and connector interface (per suncoast parts).

^ Correct. Don't get the turbo version. They don't have the clear for the wing for GT3. Can someone with clear tail look and see if the wing light is clear as well?
