Default Turn signal trim ring vs. visor trim ring

Hey all,
So I've come into some extra change and it's burning a hole in my pocket. I plan on adding the headlight visor trim ring, passing lamp visor trim ring, and visor trim ring for the front turn signals on my 2013 RKC to start.
For the rear turn signals, I am torn between adding visor trim rings vs. the regular trim rings. Product links below. While it makes sense to add the visor trim rings to match the front of the bike, the visor's are facing the rear and doesn't match the lines of the back of the bike. I've seen pics with both options and I can't decide. I am leaning towards the regular trim rings due to my statement above but I was curious to know from those of you who put the visor trim rings on the rear signals, why you went that route?

I don’t have the visor trim rings but I don’t think they look good on the back. (My buddy has them on his St Glide). I prefer the visors to be facing forward only.

here's a few pics to aid in your decision. I am personally undecided on the rear but I really don't think they'll work with the bike's lines.

The fronts on the other hand are a no-brainer. I installed them the day I bought my King back in 2013.

Put the
- Visors (or NON-Visors) on the Front
- NON-Visors on the Rear (or none at all)
