Are Spyder tails any good?

Hi. I tried searching for tails, but there are a million and a half threads so I figured I'd just post new. I was on Andy's Autosport looking at tails. I want a solid red brake light with clear turn signals. Spyder made some that looked decent:

But I noticed on the pic those 3 circles on the right side piece. I assume those are covers covering the holes for bulbs, which leads me to believe I will end up with the quite visible bulb problem I have on my current car. I bought clear/red tails for my BMW and I don't really like the fact that the bulbs are so visible:

Sorry for the large pic. Anyway.. I'm afraid I'll have the same prob. Anyone using those tails? Good/bad? I thought about the LED version to minimize the effect, but I was just wondering if anyone had experience with the company. Alternatively, if someone could recommend tails in the same style but more opaque so the bulbs won't be visible that'd be awesome too.

Thanks!

Yeah before you buy from andys autosports see how much shipping is THEY CHARGE UP THE A$$. they wanted 12 for a short shifter and $31 for shipping. i live in NY so its not like im in alaska or hawaii

Thanks. Yea, I was shocked when I put $15 clear corners in my cart at andy's then went to checkout and the shipping was also $15! Heck with that. I'm hoping they average shipping so if I throw in a few others it'll make it more worthwhile. Feels like rape to pay these charges, hehe.

A bad cellphone pic but this was one of the first mods I did to my car when I got it, my buddy who I purchased if from had blacked gaytezzas on it and it got alot of police attention....

I love the look of these lights and I'm happy with them every time I see them. I've had a few people comment that at a distance from the rear the car has a bmw look to it.....
