HELP: Tail Lights - Valenti's or Spyder's?

So guys, I absolutely cannot decide which aftermarket tail lights I should go with. I've narrowed it down to at least either the Spyder LED's or the Valenti's, but now I'm stuck at trying to decide on whether I want smoked or red lenses.

This decision has been eating me alive for the better part of two weeks or so, as I really love the look of smoked AND red from both manufacturers. I'd really appreciate all of your guys' opinions. Thanks!

My FR-S:

You need a drop a lot more than you need tail lights.

They look pretty sick on yours, still not sure if I'm sold yet though. Kinda worried how the red lenses would turn out on a Raven.

Really sweet ride you got though man.

I've actually got a set of Eibach R1's in the garage right now, just waiting to accumulate a bunch of mods to throw them all on at the same time.

That's good, cuz triplets don't leave each other off roading.

As far as the taillights go, if you go smoked, it may be too much, but red may stand out. There is a smoked red which would be the best of both worlds. So get whatever taillight in red, then slightly smoke it.
