Default Side markers, clear or tint?

I'm going to tint my tail lights (lightly, a smoked color, not black) soon and I can't decide if I want to tint the rear side markers as well, or get the clear ones. I have clear fronts right now. I'm leaning towards tinting them, but can't find any pics of people doing it on a pewter or a lighter color car. Here is a pic of the car now. Any inputs are appreciated.

I'm debating the same thing. I hate black overlays for the trans am logo on the door panel, and for the pontiac on the back. I am debating on smoking all the red areas, or leaving them as they are. I want clear for the front, but don't know...

I just don't want it to look weird with the rears smoked and the fronts clear

If your going to smoke the rears, I would smoke the fronts. I did the tailights, sidemarkers and front blinkers and really like the look. Pavlock Performance did mine.

I decided I'm going with clear rear sides. I'm going to smoke the tail lights, just enough to give it a little better look. I'll post pics when it's done.
