Mine is agate grey, but I think it looks great on yours as well!

I’m a fan of clear tail lights. I’m not a fan of painted reflectors in the bumper. It seems like a safety issue to me.

I'm kind of bias, but honestly I like them, I also don't think pictures do them justice.

i'm against. the red contrasts well with your car. the clear makes it too bland in my opinion. i do like switching out the yellow side blinkers to clear though

^^^^^ What he said. The clear tail lights might look better on a different color car.

Not a fan. Right or wrong, they remind me of the cheap aftermarket lights usually seen on Hondas with big spoilers and fart can exhausts.

Stay with the red. But do make the reflectors silver. BumperPlugs sells them in your color. FYI. Great quality and service.

Nope. No for me across the board.

I saw a DB11 the other day with them and felt they ruined the car.

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.

Ya for sure they look great on Plat silver (I will take a pic when I get home). Also remove the red reflectors and replace with bumper plugs.com. I think they dont look right if you leave red reflectors but look OEM with the bumper plugs painted plat silver.
