You can read about the effects of Cilostazol here. It breaks down the effects from common to rare

Cilostazol

Same here for Clopidogrel

Clopidogrel

Also, there is no drug to drug interaction between these two medications. But do note that not all interactions are always known. So if you do take them together, make sure you know how they may effect you prior to any activity.

Reply to Lindie's Post: My concern was that taking them both together may thin my blood too much, but apparently they are OK. Thanks for your help
