Default Not bad

Really depends on color

Clear on white looks great. Red looks better on black or darker color.

That is hysterical. Yes, definitely doesn't remind me of a Honda. They have grown on me. But I agree I only like them on certain colors. My GT3RS has some clear in it for the older clear 997 style but I don't think they would look good if it was completely clear

I've been going back and forth on this from pre-allocation days with my white car. Took delivery with red tails....which I like....but decided to order clears from Suncoast last week, to change it up possibly in the future.

It sure look classy with red but I like it to look mean and angry and the clear tail does that for me.

Default Clears to swap

I have clear tail lights with about 50 miles on them that I'd be happy to swap for reds if anyone is interested.

And maybe a matching clear set of bumper reflectors.

Y'know, so everything matches those clear LED sidemarkers.
Yes, I think that's part of the reason I didn't like them. With the other rear lights red they looked mismatched, and your eyes tend to focus on the mismatch.

HA. I totally agree there.

I guess i think that clear tail look better with some colors. I have a deposit down on a black one but thank god it doesn't have clear.

I typically leave tail lights alone unless they are 90's candy corn colored. I much prefer the red on almost any color, except maybe black. The clears do remind me of the altezza fad several years ago, granted, it's a better looking car, but it seems a bit too tuner for me.

Was going for the monochrome look on the Graphite Grey 50th. Spotted a fellow RL'r with a red GT3 who was looking to swap his clears for reds. T

How about tinted clear?

Otherwise, I would go with tinted red.

But no plain clear for me.
