I left that choice out on purpose just for you, Rudy! j/k
Despise is such a strong word. I kept it simple.

i hate them anywz, but if they have some round red parts inside, like rx300 and
altima, it would look better. Totally clear, nah~~~looks cheap for a luxury car

US DOT requires some sort of red rear reflector (but as we all know, maybe not too many of them
) so 100% clear would be illegal (and most likely dangerous.)

I've seen other luxory cars around L.A. that have all clears.
California law also outlaws front window tint. It's not a hi-pri for the wo/men in blue so don't worry about it.

I was only mentioning the need for red because others mentioned removing the reflectors or using body colored ones.
So far Jimbo, it looks like your vote in favor of these is the only one...
