Default Tail light conundrum

I couldn't find my other thread...

So, seeing as my car will be white soon, I have a slight quandary; leave them as are (spray tinted), get OEMs, red lens LEDs, or clear with black LEDs?


As are.


OEM

Red LEDs

Black



Also, while I have you here, thinking about something crazy for the tail pipe, seeing as it is near impossible to find one I want with a 3" inlet, should I just put a dump under the car OR run it out of the side of the rear bumper cover a little behind the wheel?

That kinda defeats the purpose, lol. Although, you can still see the 'smoked chrome' through the tint I have on these. If I get any more, they will not see spray on tint, maybe paint, but not tint.

If the car is going to be white, I think this would really set it off. Even without the tint I think it would look great but.....

I know all about flip's work, you gotta remember, I've been around for 3 years.

I had a pair of painted ones that I copied off of him.

Love the black lights on a white car. 1Cl3anSup3rSport (Dom) had some on his white Impala and it looked sharp.
