Yes, blackouts look cool on all cars. Red contrasts GREAT with the black

Nice I think it looks good... If I do get them it would be my stock lenses tinted so I could easily take it off if I wanted to

Mine is a blackout kit. Very easy to install, or remove if I ever need to. I got them from a vendor on here. Be sure to get the tail light gaskets too. Oh and if you haven't already, paint that lower fascia...
