Default Reds for clear tail lights

Have an opportunity to swap the red tail lights on the 2014 Graphite Grey 50th for clears from a 2015 GT3 with a fellow RL'r. Already have the monotone thing going on up front, so why not do the same out back. I do realize I'll need to do wrap or paint the rear reflectors. Is this plug & play and with no modifications ? TIA T

No modification needed for my C2, not sure about GT3 though.

don't do it. The red lights go well with your red 50th logo.

I think the clears will look great, especially with the exterior color. Your call but I think either way your Porsche looks fantastic.

And still tie in with the red calipers. Maybe touch up the "50" in badge with a bright silver ? Also thought of powder-coating the calipers a cool silver with black script

Already committed to the swap. Monotone theme already in play up front and now it's time for the rear. All of these mods are easily reversible T

Where did you get that monochrome front emblem? Looks good.

I know this is all personal preference, but the reds look sooo much better IMO.

Tony,

What are you thinking?!? Just kidding. I think it will look great and tie into the theme of your car. Let's chat soon. I owe you a call.
