Default Which tail lights should I keep?

Well, As most of you know I am swimming in a pile of high end parts from Zach's car. I am trying to figure out what tails I should keep and what to sell.
Choices are
My modified 96 tails red/clear
or the 97's from Zach's car that have been modded with all red lenses with smoked back up lights. Both are hot!

Here are some pics in the black SC of the modded 97's and then some pics of my red/clear and then the 97's in my white car. So what do you think?

Voted for sell them both. I personally like the stock 97's more than those modded ones. Again it's just my opinion, take it or leave it.

Sell the 96's. The 97 look hot on your white SC

I dont know why but I really am leaning to the Red/clear. They make the back of the car look wider and wider is a good thing IMO

They both look great on your SC. I think the Red/Clear 95-96 lights make your White SC look more cohesive, but the 97-00 Red/Black taillights give it a sightly more updated design/style. All I really know is the Red/Black 97-00's look BAD @$$ on a Black SC- I'm alittle biased.

You'll win car shows either way, maybe you should just keep both?!

Red/clear looks better on your car.

Btw is it just the lighting? or on the 97s is the right reverse light darker than the left

Just the lighting/angle that the pics were taken at SCBoy. Same paint & same amount of smoke coats were used on the lights.
The actual lights themselves were brand new never installed units w/non-yellowed reverse lenses, which I originally bought from Shaitaan. Here's some pics below:

they both look good,but for the color of the car imo the modified 96 tails go better because your car does'nt really have anything to backup the black in Zach's tails.his car on the other hand is black,and the modded 97 tails flow well.i think its all in the cars color...
