You will need the clear for the reverse lights so I suggest having them cut it out.
One question. When you get the tail lights painted, do they paint the outside or the inside of the tail light covers? My reason for asking, is because I'm concerned that if it's painted from the inside, there will potentially be condensation on the inside of the tail light. PLEASE TELL ME THEY ARE PAINTED ON THE OUTSIDE!!
I have to agree. The "smoked" look gives it a much meaner look from the back.
I guess none of you know how to remove the reflectors in the back?
