Blackouts + clear side marker lights = ?

I have blackouts on my red 91 Formula. Would it look odd if I bought clear side marker lights on my car with blackouts? Or would it look cool? I thought it would be odd but the more I think about it the more I think it may not be a bad idea...

That's true, I didn't think about that... forgot you had them. Looks good on your car, mine is red though, hmm.

I think it'll look good but I just wanna get some opinions.

Hehe, I haven't bought them yet.

Yeah, is that the stuff on ssaudio's car?

I don't really care for the idea of clear taillights on my thirdgen. Though I have seen the concept pics on this site and a few of them didn't look too horrible, I'd rather not.

i just ordered the GTS blackouts for my Formula thru auto zone. 60 bucks was kinda steep but after seeing the pic of the red bird with them i think they'll be worth it on mine.

Hehe, nice to know I inspired an appearance modification for someone

It boosts my confidence, especially since my car looks something like this right now... It's a LITTLE more completed since this pic but you get the idea.

So where can i get this spray tint for my side marker lights? I have a black 86 z28 with blackouts on the back and i dont think the clear side markers will look right.... I think VHT is the one who makes the paint but im just wondering where to get it. What do you guys think clear ones or tint the yellow ones?
