Default Smoked Tails or Red Outs

Gonna go with Aerotect overlays, and leaning more towards smoked tails, for my 08 is 350. What you guys think? Any and all pics of your set up greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance

What color is your car? IMO, red outs look better 95% of the time.

I was stuck on this for a while too. Decided on redouts for a classier look Plus less trouble with the cops...

depends on what look you want to go for, honestly I like the smoked out look above, but thats because he did it right with the wheels and dark tint. Do something different.. Like paint the amber black or smoke out only the amber portion and leave the rest red and smoke out the reverse light, that'd be cool.

I had aerotect smoke mynlights, but about 2 years later, I went back for red outs. My vote is for red outs!

Nothing wrong with stock. Just flows better with the red outs.

So having a MRM car I could see how this is attractive. Is this actually a full replacement or just some kind of sticker or something? I love the way the red looks in the dark ... very aggressive.

It's just a vinyl that is almost the same size as the yellow part of your tails. You just stick it on and your blinkers will blink red.
