trying to decide for or against clear corners

[Drifte]

This would be my first car that isnt black or white. So its taking a lot more consideration in what I do to the exterior. Right now Im trying to decide for or against clear corners. Thats all, I know pretty simple, just wanted a few opinions from dsmers, not the idiots i see on a day to day basis.

its a crappy chop with the wheels I want to, try to ignore that part. But it was a handy pic.

 

[Drifte]

ah here. found it with the right wheels. easier to look at.

In my opinion it would look bad ass with the whole head light set from ebay, Im about to do that purchase soon, they have the headlights in black too if you dont like tha much chrome.

 

[Drifte]

those crystal clears you mean? I noticed they come in blacked out now too. I was just thinking I'd do corners, since none of the corners Ive ever seen match those crystal clear headlights.

Get those corners lightly smoked.

 

[lowandsleekDSM]

i agree! get them smoked and that thing will look very nice and very sinister if u ask me!

 

[Drifte]

You guys think smoked clears, or smoked stock? So the blacked out crystal clear headlights too? I will attempt to chop the stocker clear then smoked. see what happens.

they make actualy CLEAR corners now...shoot. That would be pretty sweet. $140...

I have smoked sidemarkers, headlight covers, tail light, windows, licesence plate covers, IMO there is no such thing as to much I agree on the headlights on ebay, they looking bad ass..

Went out and snapped a few pics of my car for ya. Don't mind the dirt. And winter wheels. Enjoi =)

 

[Drifte]

wow appreciate it. It looks really good like em a lot. Pics say everything. Is visibility a lot better with those headlights? I just completely planned on doing an HID conversion simply because I really cant see without using my brights (i adjusted them...no good).

whats that lip?

 

[kronus]

I went from stocker housings w/ oem bulbs to Silverstar Ultras. Noticable increase in light out put. Switched to these housings w/ SS ultras. HUGE increase in visibility. For once I'm not being 'overshadowed' by cars behind me. If you found a way to do the 'high beam mod' to the low beams using SS Ultras I'm sure the light output would be amazing.

Nice car Drifte. I have the same exact year and color. 6/4 combo right? I was actually thinking about getting those same lights on ebay with the clear corners. But a month ago my dad was trying to park in the garage and smashed the corner light on the driver side so that kinda discouraged me from buying the lights.

The clear ebay HLs looks good!

Kronus: Car looks sick with those headlights

dang, I always hoped my Talons color was special. I guess I dont see too many of them. 6/4 yea. I'll have to read up on this high beam mod. May be easier than HID conversion.

I have the same lights as kronus,I'm really happy with them so far,had them since November. I'll post up pics when I get a chance.

 

[spammy123]

i would clear them myself, rather than buying new headlights, if your not afriad of baking your lights int he oven in order to pop them open and remove the orange.

 

[Drifte]

The versions were looking at are smooth internally. I would ahve to cut down and sand all the plastic ribs inside. I have done some custom headlights before. But at $140, probably just going to purchase the whole set.

 

[bacalhau16]

Those ebay headlights dont look too bad. I was going to say to just leave everything stock, but then I saw those.

Good choice with the RPF1's as well. I love that rim.

 

[toslow]

I have clear sides, but after seeing them blacked out that is HOT. I have clear heads to but they are getting swapped back for factory cause they are just to ricey. Darked out corners are the heat.

 

[Drifte]

now I wish they made clear side markets(in back bumper), so i could get them lightly coated with whatever the color of my car is. wonder what clear tails tinted the color of my car would look like with blacked-out internals...

i could what if all day. sorry

 

[kronus]

NOOOOOO!!! You have the sexiest of the rear ends of the 1g's. Don't RUIN IT!

 

[dikdiamond]

I'll take the clear headlights any day,over my original yellowed lenses. I like to be able to see while I drive at night,'ricey' or not. The added plus was the clear corners.

My opinion do the clears, they give it that much needed styling
