Red outs look so much better in my opinion. Smoked reflectors might need to go as well. Great job.

Good choice, and likely increases the amount of usable light so that other drivers can see you braking better

Redouts looks much better. I'd say remove the overlays on the reflectors as well.

I had smoked overlays which i took off, it was a ***** to take all that adhesive off too. took about an hour just trying to get the sticky stuff off with goo gone so i'll prob do the reflectors when i have time. thanks for all the compliments i like it alot now.. it just looks classier than before

the reflectors look dull, not a fan. swap em out and you'll be good to go. my .02 if you want to be different in the IS world..atleast from what i've seen, tint the clear part of those tailights. some 3 series have theres done and i had my reverse lights on my old acura tinted and it looked pretty nice. just a thought.
