Default Tail light decisions...

I'm stumped on which tail light to get. I'm pretty much worried how they'll look on my car. So far, I've narrowed it down to 2 kinds of L.E.D tail lights.

This kind, which I think looks pretty cool (Carbon fiber housing and red lights)

Or this one; (Red L.E.D like stock)

The theme of the car is Silver and Black. My car is silver, black pinstriping, black rims with chrome lip and black tires along with black body trim.

Just wanted to get my fellow MCF buddy's opinions

Myself, I am leaning towards the first set

Haha, ya know what...i dont know lol....I'm kinda afraid how it'll look...so I guess me keeping the "stock" appearance would make me feel that it wont look ricy if i can put it that way, but the more and more I look at those two pictures, I'm leaning more and more towards those carbon fiber tail lights

i really like the first ones you posted when i first saw them, and still kind of like them but i dont like how the leds are all together, but then again i havent seen them lit up, so that may change my mind.

I like the first one's too - they look closer to stock.

I like the ones that are black with the led's. The links you posted are'nt working for me for some reason. And I have heard the LED ones with the chrome background DO NOT look ricey. Ive heard some say they thought they would look ricey, but after they saw them, they said it looked really good and as if it went with the car real nice... Sorry, I forgot to mention, they said this about a white monte as well as a silver one, looks like you're in luck.
