Default Suncoast tinted tail lights for GT4.. thoughts??

So I have a black/black GT4 incoming hopefully this Thursday or Friday.. Quick impulse buy, bought it with only 60 miles on it from a flipper on ebay and am super excited.. Was on suncoast of course to buy the clear side markers and came across these. What do you guys think? Does anybody have these? I kinda like the clear centers....

Since the GT4 lights are already tinted, I would go for the lightest tint to avoid the ricer look.

I think it's worth trying. I've been looking into it myself. The trick will be installing it without bubbles. I'm assuming you'll need to do a wet install.

I believe that's for an entire rear taillight. It's not a tint to install on the stock lights.

Those are the GTS taillights, and I'm a big fan. I plan on picking up a pair of Euro lights (for the amber blinkers) when/if my GT4 ever gets here.

I much prefer the GTS/clear center taillights. They will be ordered with the clear LED side markers.

Don't believe that's a true representation for a gt4. Gt4 tail lights are tinted and darker vs the normal cayman lights which are shown above.

I was gonna order these but seems most people couldn't tell much of a difference vs stock. So going to pass for now till I get my car. Then if I see it in person comparatively and it blow my mind I'll pick up a set.

I think those look great. Love the clear centers. I assume it's an optical illusion but they look smaller than the solid red tail light. Here's a photo of BGB's tail lights for comparison.

Was thinking of doing this on my black GT4 also. The GTS lights look a little more special than the standard ones. Please post pics!

Thinking of getting euro ones too for the amber turn signals. Let me know if you have looked into it to see if this is going to be plug and play or need some re-wiring.

From what I can tell, they will plug right in and work fine, but might throw an error code. I plan on asking my dealer if they can code out the error once I get allocation.
