Looking good man!

If you are going to keep the clear sidemarkers up front, I would keep the TL-S tails. Dark colored sidemarkers and headlights don't blend well with all red tails

IMO, on WDP, base tails (04-06 and 07-08) are better than Type-S tails.

Keep the base tails or even the 07-08 base tails would look good with the clear side markers. Its matches the white in the tail lights.

Looks good man!

The clear sidemarkers look much better than I thought they would...esp on WDP. Why didn't you put the rear ones in? How is the light output? For $40, they look great. Take the tint off the headlights and see how they flow.
Hmm, wonder how they would look on AM?

looks good dude! the clear sidemarkers look better than i thought. mod those suckers and put some white LED's in there. thats if you have switchbacks in your headlights.
i like both type-s and base 04-08 tails. you could combine them like i did

I do like the clear side markers-looks good on a WDP TL. JP's tails are hot-if you have the inclination to do them-go for it.

The clear side markers look great next to the blinkers on the mirror...but they do contrast with your headlights. Clear the headlights and you've got a match I think. Lookin' good dude!

OMFG! I know I'm over-reacting, but goddamn dude. You aced it! I dislike the Type-S tails on most colors of this car, but your combination of the two UA7 tails as one unit is priceless.

lol... I had to chuckle. The keg was flowin' when installing my kit with a buddy. By the time we got to the rear deck spoiler... well, let's just say our install was a little off. It wasn't flush with the body. Since I'm lazy, I still haven't taken it off and installed it correctly. Hell... only a keen eye would see it if I didn't bring it up to attention.

Type-S tails seemed like they were made for AM cars. I do love mine that's for sure.
