I always thought the clears were just trying too hard to be different for its own sake. I like the red.

MY opinion is clear one because your cars colour is blue isn't it? ı think clear one is looking more good

Thumbs down

I'm more interested in either if they come with a wiring harness extension making them plug and play - my dealer just gives me NASTY looks when I mention cutting into the harness to make these work...

I think the red looks better with a blue car, so I'd do red. Black or white car though, and I'd vote clear.

clear is ok, but red adds more class to this vehicle.

That's a conundrum. It wouldn't be that hard to snip the wires and add a little more. What if you could get another set of terminals for the harness and lights? You could make your own extensions that just plug right in. That way, you wouldn't have to disturb the original wiring, and open the door for gremlins. Having not seen the backside of a taillight, I'm not sure how much room you would have, though.

I'm with Dougie. I would go with the red smoke, no matter what color, but I think it is going to look really good on the Storm Silver.

I say go with what you want, But then again 1000 to 2 is a better number to choose from if we were voting right?

Pardon my ignorance, but what wheels are those in your avatar? Are they as expensive as they look? Might be nice on the Storm Silver.

Does anyone still sell the brake disc dust shields. Instead of converting the rears to discs, why not get a set of shields for the front? Paint the shields and drums your favorite color, and there you go. Maybe put a swirl pattern like some of the fighters had on the nose cones of their propellers in WWII. You could drive down the road inducing vertigo in pedestrians.

The red/clear definitely. The all clear ones just look too much like altezzas and Im not a big fan of them. I like to keep the body of the car factory clean, its whats underneath that counts.
