Default Clear Tail Lights on my build?
My build lock date of 2/3/20 is rapidly approaching. I don't have clear tail lights on my build at the moment but now I'm starting to lean towards adding them. Thoughts?

For your build, clear tail lights would look cool. It didn't make much diffence for my build since car is red.

My only issue with clear are the red bumper reflectors stand out more when all the other lights are cleared out

Def wrap the rear reflectors in black vinyl or have them painted body color once it arrives. I did that on several of my 991 cars.

Easy fix. You can get those professionally tinted for less than a $100.

So, when you add the Aerokit, it eliminates the bacon strip 3rd brake lights. Nice bonus!

Good idea. I don't have clear lights, but I might do this anyway when my car comes.

Clear tails a must with or without aero kit. Looks less like robocop with aero, and eliminates the bacon strips along with robocop without.

Welp I'm sold. Just had my SA update my build to include the Clear Taillights. Will get the rear reflectors tinted and I'll be all set!
