Default Opinion on my black car

I have a black Firebird with dark gray interior and need an opinion on side markers.

I'm doing a mono-chromatic scheme with my car for the exterior and interior. So far, I have polished wheels and polished stainless steel rear inserts. I'm going to paint my calipers black later on. I'll probably spend a little money later and get some polished parts for under the hood, but that's not of concern for the exterior. I might also get a set of 98+ rear taillights.

Would you guys suggest smoked side markers, or clear side markers?

Don't mind the pinstripe, it'll be removed when I get a new hood.

Another vote for smoked corners, and get a factory style WS.6 hood (96-97 style) and you will be set.

but I may be a bit biased on the hood

Who sells smoked corners for the LT1's? I have a Formula, and I want smoked corners.

+1 for the smoked corners. Death to the pinstripe. Look into a silver stripe kit (just a suggestion).

Man, your car looks exactly like mine when I got it, I had the same pin strip but the 16inch chrome wheels. I went with clears, here is a pic of how mine was:





I got rid of the pin stripe and am going for the all back look now. I am going to be VHT nightshading my stock ambers that I still have and will probably sell my clears, I might keep them through. Another vote on the stock 93-97 WS6 hood, I have talked for ages about getting one, but have just not got round to it yet

even though blkform's car looks badass, i still think it would look a little meaner with the smoked lights. nothing better than a really dark car with power.

96blackform, maybe our cars came from the same dealer, seeing as we're both in Ohio? lol. My car also came with the chrome 16's, but I got the WS6's after buying it.
