Thanks for all your suggestions and opinions, I'm gonna think some more about it The Redouts do looks sexier but in my opinion the smokes are more aggressive and different...

I'm probably gonna remove the smokes and just do redouts, wheels and spacers are next... but money's a bit tight rite now... since I just lowered it with the H&R's about a month ago and I just got a $322 speeding ticket!

I love this look Phil. I've been contemplating redoing my tails, but am still not sure. I have 35% on my 2011 now with reverse cutouts and cant decide if I want to go darker or keep it as is....or I could do redouts over my turn signals and then tint them again

I was never a fan of the smoked taillights. But I do like the aftermarket ones that look like the new generation lights!

I'd remove them because having smoked tail lights can be used against you in a accident.

Get rid of the smoke. Never understood smoking out tailights, they are there for a reason. Just my 2 cents.
