Smoked on a dark car look ugly IMHO. <---IMO kkthaxbye <3

Makes me think of a piece of dirt that no matter how much you rub, it never gets clean/washed off.

I say try Tom's vs Valenti's if you really want dark ones. Light dark looks ok.










^^^Ugly^^^

TOMS Below



^^^I dig it^^^



Nothing beats clean/clear on whiteout hehe




p.s. if you're car is above... nothing intended by this post...just my opinion.

I've had this debate in my head a million times. But i've arrived at the conclusion, after spending hours on google images, that only white and black twins look good with any type of tail light colors, I feel the red out looks best with the other colors because it creates a contrast that is stock yet different/intriguing, I would go red out Tom's or stock with tail as turn and signal as reverse. The only other tail light i've considered is the Intec tails that are molded and gives almost the look of a ferrari tail light.

I went with the red valenti. I feel that the red really makes the car standout and I love the way they look when turned on.

I've got smoked...



2.5 years and no issues with LEOs.... (of course now I've jinxed myself....).

I like the smoked look with Asphalt.

I like the new clear valenti revos on my DGM, to each their own. The contrast is ok. I might go with some red overlays or tint them red myself but for now i think they look good. I have pictures on my instagram @sal_brz too lazy to link a photo here.

Personally I think red based tail lights look best on the darker colors. Not Valenti or Tom's, but here's my stocks all red.

My vote goes for Black in stock tails or waiting until the new red/chrome Valenti Revos finally get released.
