The red/smoke combo looks very nice on white cars, while the red/clear looks better on cars in colors like blue or black. At least thats my opinion.

They look pretty decent, honestly I think I could go either way. I'd keep the car silver though, looks good on a coupe

here we go

The lighting made the one on the left look much darker than it is so just look at the one on the right.

rotas break easily?
they're just knock off wheels, it doesn't mean they're poor quality.

yeah i hear ya, and i wish i could but i would need to another left trunk tail light.
I couldnt get the tint to come off with paint thinner so i sanded the tint layers off, and then used brake cleaner to clean the surface. Well come to find out the brake cleaner was able to remove the tint >.< .

No. To make your car look cleaner, you should also take off the wing.
