im all about whats clean...i like both, used sparingly

for example, i have a white T/A...i like the black outs for the front turn signals, but not the ones for the side markers...i like either for the rears, as long as its pulled off cleanly...

for you, my .$02 ...

clear tails, leave the headlights stock (ie. no whistler mod), clear side markers, black SS or Z28 badges, flat black berger pnl, 5% tint, and please dont put chrome wheels on it...

just my opinion...

I had clear corners and I didn't like them. I now have night shaded stock lenses. I love them. Check out my sig.

Man do it the way YOU wanna do it. Everyone has their own reasons for doing it the way they did. That being said your color would be good smoked !!

clear and for the side markers paint the bulbs with a light coat of white spray paint. That will dull the brightness of the bulb when its night time

on ur color, i would say clear... either that or buy clear lenses and slightly nightshade them to give them that clear/smoked look and u can choose how dark they are...

but usually i only like blacked out on black cars... with some exceptions

edit: stock ambers

If the grill is black, then I think it would look good to do the whistler mod and smoked lenses and side markers with a black berger panel.
