I did the red/clear on my black car. The only reason was that I didn't want to introduce another color on the rear. The red/clear are more in keeping with the look of the back-up lights.

Neither... this has never been a mod I like on any color. They look like fried eggs. Talk to any euro-vette owners and they most all want four big reds like we have, but they can't have 'em!

OH...I forgot to mention...

Have you considered BOTH! I've seen the two outer lights red/amber and the two inner lights red/clear. The ambers are the turn signals and the clear are the back-up lights. I thought that was a cool combination. If I had seen it before I did mine, I would have probably done the two color conversion.

When he mixed the paint, he would shoot an area on the stock rear facia( one area on top, and one on the side) and tint the yellow till it was right on. We would take it outside and look at it in the sunlight(paint always looks different under flourescent lights) and then we would just set the stock facia back on the car to see if the match was good. Once he got where we were both happy with it, he painted the Specter Werks facia, and it really matches perfect. Time consuming, but time well spent.
