Default Tail light Film?

I want to swap back to red if anyone wants clear 991.1 tail lights but was thinking of trying these out meanwhile:
https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/991FILM.html

Anyone have any pics of them over clear or experience good/bad with this film?
I'm swapping to black script and tips on rear of the car and thought this may save me from swapping back to red.

Just my opinion here but I think it will cheapen the look of the car. I've seen it done on a few 991's (not sure if they had clear tails) and it didn't look too good. Especially on the front because it makes the car look like some sort of bug/insect.

I'd personally go with the lightest shade they have instead of pitch black.

I like what STG did with his in this thread

I have 5% (lightest one) for the rear 991.1 tails if you’re interested. New and unopened from Lamin-X. Was going to return but happy to sell them to you if you’re interested. I bought them and while waiting for them got RS tails instead.

I do too. I bought it and decided I didn’t want to install it.

Mine have the Lamin X from Suncoast. I have had no problems with them.

I was thinking of just the rears and not too dark.
Thanks for the link, both STG and Magic Rat look good in that thread.
I'm going to talk to my body friend and see what he wants to do them while I get some bumper scrapes and rear reflectors painted.
Looking at the tinted clears, it will go well with Agate, plain clear look good on white but not too hip on them with other colors.
