Default Advice on some lighting mods

Ok guys I am planning to do a few things to livin up my TA picture below shows how it looks now. I have already ordered some new projector fog lights with the blue halo. What I wanna know is what do you guys think I should do with the corners. I could use some transparent paint and put them Red, or maybe another color, I could get some clear ones, or I could tint them.

The only problem if I go with clears is I can not find them, I have done alot of thread searching and the sponsor that sells them only sells the rears. Ive checked ebay and the seller that many have mentioned doesnt have anything listed so yall let me know something.

Finally should I do somethin with the front turns, I have researched the switchback but Im not sure exactly if I should do that, because it seems from what I have seen they are really expensive. Just throw out some opinions guys. Thanks for reading.

Some clears would look good. I just wanted to say, your car is gorgeous. The tints and wheels really set it off.

Im pretty sure the rears and fronts are the same size.. They are just different color.. So just buy 4 clears and they should fit in all 4 corner spots..

First off, there is a thread on here somewhere telling you how to make your own clears. I have never seen them in real life but looked good in the pic's in the right up.

Second, I was going to say go with nightshading your tailights, but that would kind of through off your scheme you got goin on. I once saw on here where someone had a pewter trans am, and where the honey comb was in the back on the tails, they had gone over that with the color of the car. Looked really nice and unique, and I think it would look sick on your ride!

Just my 2 cents...

You could also look into LED conversion taillights and 3rd brake light. I am currently in the R&D stage of making LED conversion for all 4th gen fbodies. I will also be offering tinting and possibly color matching painting along with the LED conversion.


I'll keep you guys updated with my progress.

Yea man they are pretty tough to keep clean, but not to horrible. I think I will prolly tint them either bright red or black unless I can find some dang clear ones. My 3rd brake light is also very unique, I came up with an awesome way to make the light go back and forth.
