I ordered a night blue c4, hasn’t started production yet, I am still debating to go clear or not on that color. I think the clear taillights makes the rear cleaner and sportier.

I ordered that exact same thing and what I got was all clear. Not tinted in any way. I was torn between clear and tinted anyway, and buying this package means you get the side lights and third brake light to sell.

Correct me if I am wrong but the side turn signal indicators are the same "clear" whether you order the clear taillight package or not from the factory?

These guys...

Great thread, sorry been hard at it at BumperPlugs HQ. We're seeing 90% of customers going with Satin Black for non Turbo rear reflectors so they disappear into the unpainted rear fascia. On the 992 Turbos we're seeing body color - to match and tie into the body color trim around the reflector. Either way, we're happy to oblige.

Love the overall look either way. Happy to be of service. Thanks Smiles11.

Has anyone had any luck ordering these clear rear lights recently? I am being told they are out of stock with no ETA from Porsche.

Related if anyone in the CO area has clear and wants red lights we could swap

Completely OT . . . although I'm in South Florida, I bought my upcoming Carrera T through the North Olmsted dealership. It was an absolutely first-class experience. I'm doing an ED in a couple weeks and then plan to fly up to Cleveland and take a second road trip back to Florida. Hopefully in September.

this is what I did this past weekend. Clear brake light and darkened reflectors.
did not do a great job with reflectors I may actually get a new IEM set and paint them
matt black. Here I used pre-cut vinyl.

yours is so perfect. I am torn as to whether to “clear” the taillight or not. I wanted to keep one “classic” Porsche element.
I see you kept your model emblem. I am debating taking mine off but it’s sitting on top of PPF. So insure there either.
but once receive my diffuser, I think I will do the wings as inspired by your toy.
