You need the red lens/reflector on the tail lights to make them DOT legal. All tail lights need a red reflector. Look at the Prius clear tail lights like mine and you'll see that they still have a red reflector too. I put my front license plate on last night, so now my car is 100% street legal. I try to stay under the radar with the local authorities. Well at least I'm not giving them a reason to pull me over.

I got the set from GT Motor Sport

The quality on the mirrors and the quality of every other item I have from GT Motorsports has been very good. The reason I dont have them installed is I could not figure out how to do it. I have since changed my mind on installing them and they are in my shed waiting to go on a white 996tt I have not bought yet.

I have the Kokeln scoops and love them, I think it changes the character of the car.

You are right about the red reflector. I say leave the tails alone they look good on your car.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
