Should I change out the all black fins to the ones with aluminum accents:

Installing the clear version of the third brake light ...should I change my rear grill fins from black to the ones that have the aluminum accents?

I'm going to swap out the OEM third brake light for the clear ones (Genuine Porsche 9P5-945-087-A |992 911 (2019+) Additional Brake Light, Clear | FREE Shipping on Most Orders $499+ OEMG! | GetPorscheSilverSpringParts) so I'm wondering if I should also replace the all black fins with the ones that have the aluminum accents? Here's a picture of my current setup. Wondering what people think.

I achieved the same affect with 1/8” vinyl tape - try this before you spend a lot of money

I think it will look good

Good thought. I’ll look into it.

Personal preference. I prefer the black that came with your car. I think the 2S came with black and the 4S came with silver.

I’m not sure…I like the current contrast you have now so I would leave it alone.

Interesting. I did not know that.
I have the clear brake light with the black. I like that look.

I think the aluminum accents would look odd, as there is no other aluminum trim on the car. Stay black, or have the slats painted the body color.

Yup. I want to keep it clean looking. I'm going to keep it all black.

Don’t mess with perfection!
I agree...it looks great as is. If you had clear brake lights then maybe.
Here’s the rest with the clear 3rd brake light. Now, it’s just a question of whether I do the bar as well.
