I've been tossing around the idea of throwing clear corners on my car (to replace the amber and red lenses on the side). I even threw together a quick MS Paint of it (Fuck photoshop...spoiled bitches). Let me know what y'all think:

Honestly, it looks good and bad. It definately goes with the chrome/silver theme of the grill and side vents and also the rims. But it also seems like to much with all that also. Id say go with what you think looks good.

I like the look of clear corners and the blacked out look on black. IMO it all comes down to personal preference.

If you get the clear corners, think about getting LED red bulbs for the rears. I did this because after a while, the stock red bulb started to look pink to me. They are pretty cheap too.

I like the clear corners on black... I thought about doing it on my car also.. but the black corners look really good if you have some dark a$$ tint too.

I just ordered a set of clear side markers for my car, anything looks better then the stock amber ones (clear or black out) I will have a set of extra front clear side for sale as soon as my order comes in which should be any day. Email me if you would like to buy them Crusinjon@hotmail.com

I got my LED's from a place local called Custom Trim of Akron. You should be able to get them at any parts stores like Auto Zone or Advanced Auto (whatever similar you have in your area). There is also a website that has them pretty cheap, but I can't remember it right now.

cool man are those 17 or 18 and did you have any probs rubbing
Mr. Luos
04-17-2006, 11:16 AM
17's.
I did have some light rubbing until I got an alignment. Front and rear.
Still gotta keep an eye on the rears. Might still rub when the car squats.

I wanted to do that as soon as I got my car off the lot!! I waited and did it the following year, loved it, till my friendly neighbourhood cop told me to put back on the stock ones, apparently its a violation!!! big surprise. I got a warning ticket, but never changed them. When he pulled me over the next time I told him I phoned MTO (ministry of transportation) and they said it was not a violation, and he believed me....LOL

Where do you guys order your clear turn signal lenses from? One of mine broke and I was wondering what's a good reliable place to order them from.
