Honda civic style. Stay away. And painted reflectors are just really odd looking. At least the reflector serves a purpose and look normal. Painted they are just an odd interruption in the middle of the curvaceous bumper.
Totally agree, I never have understood why some folks want clear taillights on any car especially a 911 and IMO painted reflectors look really odd also.
I am not the original owner of my 991, so I didn’t have the opportunity choose clear vs. red tail lights. When I first purchased it with clear tail lights, I was planning to swap them for red tail lights. I installed clear front side markers first, and I never got around to changing the tail lights. I have to say that the clear tail lights have grown on me. I’m not planning to swap them at this time - I’m keeping the clears installed as the car came from the factory. I probably wouldn’t order clear tail lights on a brown car if I was the one placing the order. That said, I think they look great on white, silver or black cars.
Thanks for everyone's input, I like it when is not lit. I am also going to replace the badges to black color which will make it pop a little on a silver car.
I think i am going to keep it for a while, i can always go back to the red in about 10 mins :-)
You should pick whichever ones you like but if it were me I would go with smoked tail lights. In regards to the rear reflectors, I am debating whether to get them painted in Miami Blue or Black; the latter may look better since it may appear that I am not covering them up that way. And yes, Bumper Plugs is the way to as opposed to a rattle can.
My S.B. GTS was ordered with them. I was unsure if I liked them at first, but have grown to love them. Added the LED clear side markers and I have a winner.
Trying to fall in love with my clear tail lights but not quite getting there yet. Think maybe those slightly darker red ones that come on RS might look good?
