SMOKED!

You will sell them easier VS the clear ones...

OUTCAST

The smoke look good on dark cars.

I have a white '06 and I stressed over this decision for some time. In the end I just closed my eyes and went with the smoked. It's a really cool look. I thought it might contrast too much with the lighter paint, but it doesn't. The smoked ones are just a little more sporty looking in my opinion.

Well, let's just say it wouldn't be the first time I've seen this done.
In the two years I owned my 2007 Honda Civic LX Coupe (baller, I know ), the air filters suddenly went from being found on every Autozone shelf to not being stocked at all. Honda decided that their air filter was deemed design property of their company and so dictated that no one could manufacture it other than them. You then could only purchase it from the dealership. It went from being a $17 FRAM air filter at Autozone to a $29 Honda air filter at the stealership. Crazy.

I don't know if it is just the lighting and angles, but the 63AMG lights have some really nice highlights to them that I don't see in the 55AMG lights. They look really crisp.
