i love them without the red. I agree about ditching the taillight black outs. I want to add matte black stripes with that style to my Vette OR go with full racing stripes. Either like the ones the O/P put up in all matte black or like the ones below ~Cole~

Nice job, but I agree, you should add the red part of the stripes.
