Clear or Tint tails on a Black Opal
i've got a 97 E320 Black Opal (looks like a dark grey-blue), I'm looking to update the tail lights.
Do you think i should go with the clear or tints?
I was leaning towards the clears because the car isn't black and theres nothing on the car that's black and i dont think it would match well with the paint. But i'd like to know what you guys think.
(If anyone knows a good place with a good price for the tails please send me a PM, Steve if your reading this send me a quote for the tails+ship if you have a chance)
On a side note, I've sadly found a bit of rust on the right wheel well (front and rear). The front is a bit worse then the rear, not that either is bad.
Its one of the bad parts about living in the snow belt.
I am playing with the idea of finding a right front body panel (found a couple on ebay for 150 incl ship) and getting them painted my color. Or should i just take it to a body shop and get its grinded off an painted, knowing it will show up again in at least 2 years? thanks guys.

i've got a black opal clk also... i've been thinking about getting smoked tail lights myself....
I think it would look great... don't worry about it... you won't regret the move...

1997 e320
i think smoke taillights blend in too much with the dark paint. i have a '97 black 320 and also debated on if i should go with the smoke e55's or white. i think the white stands out more.... and i dont want anybody to mistaken me for a real e55 since i do have the amg kit. jmo

E55
i dont think people would mistake me for a E55, i have the stock body kit & i have my E320 badges on (and will keep them).
I am looking for a good ways to personalize my car.
So far i have-
Factory Xenons
Lighted Sills
17" Sport Rims (99-01 sport rims 5 star) w/ pilot sports
nothing big deal, but much better then how it came stock.
I want to do a flat hood emblem, clear side blinkers, Xenon match bulbs.
Any other ideas are always welcome.
