Default Clear vs. Smoked 3rd Brake Light

Happy New Year to all I saw that Karfiesta has a replacement 3rd brake light and was wondering whether you thought clear or smoked was better with Arctic Silver 2001 996TT. Since there is snow on the ground, its cold and New Years Day, it's important to ponder the really important things in life!

I've got the smoked one on my 996tt and I'm very pleased with that.

Where can you get one of those? Which one blends better with Seal Grau, by blending I mean the most similar...

Thanks in advance!

I've got more coming in shortly but I've been putting them on most of the cars we get Looks pretty cool. The fitment isn't 100% pefect on the Turbo wing though like it is on the 996 non turbos...

I ordered the clear from Vivid to go with arctic, but smoked seems better with seal grey. Also saw them at Karfiesta on Rennlist. Nice little winter mod.

Which one matches better with the tail lights ? Wanted to get one but skeptical if the "smoke" finish will be darker than the tail lights ... Any thoughts ?
