I'm tossed up on the lights as well. If I'm going for my black paint, the smoke would be a nice detail but then, if I went with the OEM '99 spec without the tint, it would be a great contrast. I'm stuck. :[

Ended up actually purchasing your second option the JDM's. I didn't think the tinted tail lights would look good on my red car so I went with the stock look and will post pick when installed, thanks

I used to have tinted taillights and have had a bad experience with the tint not lasting. I even took the recommended steps to getting the tint to last. I don't recommend them.
