Default Clear or Smoked Corners?

I can't decide for the life of me whether I should keep the stock corners or go clear or smoked? My whole goal with the car is to keep the stock look which has me wanting to keep the stockers but I think new corners would maybe be a small enhancement?


Here's a couple pics of my car to give you a better idea...




My crappy attempt with Paint:

heres a quick photoshop job... shows it a little better:

clear:


smoked:


red (even though i'm pretty sure its illegal to have red lights on the front of your car):



overall i think the advice michaelinchains gave is best for your car... clear windows, clear corners.... tinted windows, smoked corners

thanks I think I'm going to pick up those clear ones from there.


Ricer: Thanks alot man that helped ALOT!!! I think clear it is. I also agree with you and michaelinchains about going smoked only if the windows were tinted now that I see it. The red is real sick as well I will have to look into if its legal or not.

Here those pics for you bro. The smoked IMO flow way better with the red. Clears stand out too much to where you really notice them. Seen one local and didn't care for it...but people have different tastes

Clear front markers only IMO. Leave the rear red. They tie in with the tail lights nicely, unlike the orange. Post up some pictures after you put them in!

Looks like smoked has taken the lead Stealth, other then the poll count! Should be a easy choice
