I haven't seen them but I bet they would make the car look like crzzap or shiznit, whichever you prefer.

because it would make the car look importish. it would have to be something really spectacular made in carbon fiber for me to consider them for my ride. alot of the designs out there are really exagerated and don't look right.

Everybody here thinks they look stupid so your not gonna get much support! Everyone likes the stock grid lights and since nobody makes aftermarket rear lights for our cars, you will get nothing but negative posts!:lala: :lala: :lala:

i never understood why everyone hated the idea of clear tails quite as much as they do, then i saw a pic (long time ago dont ask for me to find it) of a maro with clear tail lights. Now i understand why people hate it so much. You really have to see it to understand how awful it is.

Why would you want to bring attention to the tailights by making them stick out and be this weird chrome looking color.....?

There isn't a market for the clear lights, therefore they probably won't be made......

Jeasus Kreist!

Do a search on Clear Tail lights on this post. You will quickly see that any question about them is an invitation for a barrage of flaming posts.

I'm serious, do the search. Save us all a bit of time and take all those flaming responses to heart. Clear tail lights have NO PLACE on a Third Gen. Of course that is my opinion and I acknowledge your right to screw up your car in any way you see fit.

I have a suggestion for you. If you want your tail lights to stand out why don't you look int polishing the plastic to a high gloss. There is a post here someplace about the process. I have not done it yet but I will when I get the time. It looks REAL GOOD!

Good luck with your car!

I remember a post from a good while back where alot of people were interested in getting some! Someone was trying to make them by themselves to sell, but i dont know how it turned out. Do a search and see if you can find it, who knows that person might be producing them. Actually I think they would look really nice, if it was just like the grid style with clear plastic and still the black trim in the grids. And my tailights are already shiny
