Not sure if you are asking if anybody has seen/knows about that exact brand or if you are referring to experience with clear lenses in general such as look, styling, etc.
I"m not a huge fan of clear tail lamps myself and with the ones you have pictured I think the red rectangles in the middle really kill it for me. I have seen two vettes with them, one white and one blue. The white is probably the best body color to have if you are going to go this route. Here is the blue one:

It looks fairly nice but notice there is no red at all, just clear. The "corvette" lettering combo'd with the reverse lights and even the cleaned up mufflers really help pull this look together.
You will get a lot of people here tell you it is awful looking and shouldn't be considered (get the flame suit ready). Do what you think is cool and if you don't like it, switch them back to stock. I say go for it. Just remember that with clear lenses there is a difference between this...
And this...
Stay classy and post up pics if you end up doing it.

I'm thinking clear side markers too. Going the other direction of Johnny Cash
You're right thought about the red squares. I found them on Ebay. Do you know where I could find the totally clear ones?

Got 'em on wifey's '01. Older style, but she loves them, and they do look cool with the rest of the car.
I searched for these for the better part of a year, and finally found a used set here on the Forum. Long out of production...if I ever need to replace one, I'm SOL.

You asked and I will give you my opinion.
To me they look really cheap, There is no way I could even think of putting a set on my car. But it isn't my car.
They look like some cheap China lights, I think stock looks 100% better over those.
The Corvette deserves better.

Check the laws in your state before you plunk down your money for a set of them. You state Highway Patrol can tell you if they are legal. Personally, I don't care for the look of the clear rear lights, but I'm not considering buying them either.
