$145 for the red/clear crystalized tails for 95/96? Seen them for $200 and $249 on custom enterprise.

Yeah it's a good deal. Look at the price difference....I don't think they are too blingy but I'm not sure how they'd look on the gold...

how are you going to white out clear tails? I've seen "whited" out tails and it was not pretty.

but to perform the process you can mask off the out side where would not get "whited out" and paint. Or bake the tails and paint the inside for a longer lasting finish.

those are red/clears. to be specific the original red/clears. the tails came that way (purchased) the ones you are going to purchase are not all clear like Vlassic's sig? or are one clear and the outside lenses amber? like stock.

if you have a pic of the one's you want to purchase it will clear things up.

oh so you want to clear some 95/96 tails. There are two options. you can buy the CE version of red clears, or you could search for some original red clears.

For the 95/96 the orange portion can not come out like the 97+ and be replaced. It is apart of the lense. You could paint over it red or black to try and achieve a different look, but as for clearing them you’ld have to purchase another set.
