Stick with stock, solid and simple red. I think those look cheesy, personally. Or maybe solid tinted if you could find them.

I had the ghost tails in clear on my car and i loved them. Selling them now because I upgraded to a Type-S so I'm taking my car back to stock...


Don't get Type-S tails. everyone and their mother already has those; they look nice though not knocking anyone who does have them...Even I used to have them.

I have a base 04 anthacite mettalic, I just installed the clear/ black tail lights on yesterday, it looks so nice, already got compliments about it. If you're choosing go with the clear/black! I would put a picture but I'm new so I can't post pictures. If you email me I can send you the pictures!

I agree with IamaTL, do something custom with your lights. That or buy OEM lights that you want, some aftermarket lights have fitment issues.

Basically what he does is custom makes them for you and then you send him your tails for the set he makes you. As long as your tails are in good shape. He also does headlights as well among getting other OEM parts at great prices. Since you're in PA, you can always make the drive to his garage. I have met up with him to put my A-Spec kit on as well as my custom headlights. That way you don't have to ship anything out and can get everything done in one shot.

Yeah sometimes he's a little slow to get back to messages on here. Even when I have texted him, it wasn't always a fast response, but he will get back to you I'm sure.
