CF taillights on black car

I am working on a few exterior things for my car-just had the car repainted black (I must say it looks like a completely new car without the fading), and am still in search of a good wheel+tire combo. I have an eclipse bumper coming in the mail and was deciding between the clear altezza taillights or the carbon fiber and thought a visual aid was needed. I searched around and can't really find what I am looking for, but I just need to see what the carbon fibers look like on a black eclipse/talon. Anyone have a pic or a link? Thank you.

I think you should either just smoke the factory lights or get crome altezzas and smoke them

Factory taillights FTW!

If you must change them, go for smoked for sure on a black car. You should post a pic of your new paint job...to convince me to get mine.

Re: CF taillights on black car

Thanks guys, I got from you exactly what I needed. After listening to your advice I am still going to try them out, but it seems that most people don't like them. I will get pics up as soon as I get it done, and the paintjob will show too My visual goals will be one step closer to finished..
