Taillight opinions

I have a 97 Pearl White maxima SE andi've narrowed my choices down to either red/clears or gen 2 altezzas in either black chrome or carbon fiber, i think chrome is to ricey. I know most of you are going to say red/clears, but I'm thinking gen2 carbon fiber altezzas will look good to match my carbon fiber door pillars and black leather interior. Whats your opinion on it?

if you are really asking which one.. then you really like Altezza's and red/clear tails will be boring to you.. so just go for what you want...

even though maximumsport did go from altezza's to red/clear tails

I like the gen 2 altezzas better cause they look different, but im just wondering if it will clash with the pearl white paint. Anyone have pics of black chrome or carbon fiber gen 2's on a pearl white max?

See for yourself what you'd like best. I have pics of all the different tails on my car: stock, chrome gen-1s, red/clears, carbon fiber gen-2s...you name it. http://daystartv.net/car/evolution/.

And for more pics of the carbon fiber gen-2's, http://www.daystar.com/car
