Default 991.1 GTS rear lights smoked ?

I know the fronts are 'smoked' as standard, just wondered if the rears are or not and if not what they might look like on a white GTS ?

I like smoked meats and fish. Lights, not so much.

I'm not aware that the .1 GTS front lights are smoked??

I think the .1 GT3RS had standard rear "smoked" lights. Bring ca$h. They are plug & play. I also think Rennlister STG had his rear lights clear-coated with a slightly tinted coating to give a similar effect.

Thanks, I will google and look at white GT3RS tail lights. The Porsche description describes the GTS as 'smoked' front PDLS lights, but doesn't mention the back

Rear GTS are NOT smoked. Correct that RS tails are. The only model they made them for. Can be purchased and put on a GTS. They would look great on white or any color.

By GTS fronts they mean the black version of the PDLS headlights which are an option on any Carrera model. The bumper lights are also a darker version to match. See them here lower on the list.

Smoked rear tail lights are hard to keep lit. FYI.

GTS brochure does describe the rear lights as “tinted”.

Yes, the right word to describe them ...

Suncoast sells pre cut tinted film in three different shades for relatively low cost. If you don’t like it just peel it off. I have the lightest film on my GTS and I think it looks great.

Looking through at the pictures it's clear that the GTS does not have as dark lenses as the GT3 RS, I might be persuaded that the GTS lenses are perhaps darker then the GT3, but I don't think so. Around £650 in the UK for a set, think I am going to get a set for xmas !

My 'mod' list so far is debadge the "911 carrera GTS" and add the darkened rear lights. My car is a non optional trim interior car, so no lovely contrasting stitching or extra alcantara.

I might look to get the under dash and A pillar retried to lift the interior a bit
