LED 3rd Brake light on Trans Am

I finally got tired of replacing the bulbs in my 3rd brake light on the spoiler of my TA, so I got one of the LED units that been floating around on eBay. I think there are three different versions out there; smoked, light chrome and the black one I got. Although the top of mine is kinda a frosted finish.
The price was kinda high at $50, but it actually appears to be a fairly high quality piece. Anyways you guys can be the judge on how you think it looks:

I've been looking at those for awhile now.Wasn't sure bout them though.Looks good on there man.Think I might have to cough up the cash and pick one up and the led taillights to go with it.

The taillights I want to tint a little to go along with the total blacked out theme i'm going for with my car.

Thanks guys. At first I thought maybe it was a little ricey, but the more I look at it, I really like the look. I've thought about LEDs for the tail lights but the LT1 V8 tail lights look pretty damn sweet already and I think the bulbs make them glow better than an LED cluster would, I could be wrong though and I know some guys on here have had good luck with the conversion.

Put some Nightshades or black paint on the top of it. The white housing looks out of place with the black car.

When I bought it I thought the top was gonna be all black, so I was kinda annoyed when it showed up with the frosted plastic. It actually ties in with the frosted color of the back up lights so its not too bad I guess. I may try putting some tint over it to see if that helps tone it down a bit.
