Default Altezza Tail lights!!!!

so i went to a store today and i saw a nice mustang cobra. i parked next to it of course. he has altezza tail lights on his car. and i have the stockers. he asked if i wanted to trade plus he gives me $20.. i took the deal!!!





























JUST KIDDING. i wouldnt take those for anything. but now that i got ur attention (bc i didnt know what to title this thread) what do you guys think i should do with my tail lights..

first off, the new GT is laser red if you dont know, and im tinting the side reflectors with nightshade.. my question is, should i:

nightshade my tail lights and then get them clear coated with car clear coat from a paint shop (my sis' bf paints cars so he'd do it for me)

or

buy smoked tint from stangmods/autobadges??

or

get blackout tint from stangmods/autobadges??

or

keep it stock


thanks guys!!!! hope you enjoyed the title lol

I'd probably go with the blacked out tail light covers! Easy to take off if you ever get tired of them!
