Clear 3rd Brake Light pics anybody?

i am finalizing a bulk order from bumperlugs and cant decide which clear 3rd brake light to get:

- clear/smoked
- silver

anybody has pics of one or the other? my car is arctic silver (92U) -- but i am leaning toward the clear/smoked option.

also.. good advice on which trickle charge to get? who makes really good one? thanks.

btw, why do people change rear wings? i understand it improves a look, but if you get a non-porsche wing, how do you know it went through the same wind tunnel testing that porsche puts the whole car through? sorry, but i always question aftermarket products which can affect your car stability at high speeds and if those aftermarket wings are so much better, why wouldn't porsche consider using them or offering those desigsn as an option?

yes, i know, loaded question -- but i do want to open this up for a discussion since i'd love to upgrade my rear wing, but can't bring myself to do it due to concerns described above.

Thats one of the reason why I go for the oem, at least porsche designed and tested these...as for the others, Im not sure. Aerodynamics is something that can change a cars dynamics at speeds, so I would rather have porsche design my wing. But, we're not all pure racers so... as long as the cars dont tend to...flip, nothing wrong with a good lookin ride either.
