Default Should these side markers be black or stay red?

08 GT/CS

I just blacked out the front turn signals. I'm not wanting to black out the 3rd brake or tail light. That leaves my side markers sitting on the fence. Part of me says to leave them alone, they are virtually invisible against my paint. The other part of me thinks they would add just a bit more to my red/black scheme. Opinions?

I think the tinted lights really pop on the Redfire. Nice CS btw!

Don't touch them, they will look out of place.
If you want more black, go with intentionally placed things rather than random things that have a kit. Some colors work great with the tinted rear side markers, but with those it's about toning down a color that clashes with the overall scheme.

I have the fronts and backs tinted.
I like the tint on the back.
It adds something to the back that seems like it's missing. Just like the red from the lenses on a car that's not red, the tint makes it stand out.

IMO.. i would definitely leaves the sides alone... would look way out of place blacked out. I would absolutely black out the tail lights though (not the third brake light) because of your black middle part though.

That would look really bad. Either tint all three or get that "mustang" stencil for the third.
