Default F Body Bumper Lenses - Pic Requests

I had a minor accident with my camaro about less than a month ago and the passenger front bumper lens needs replacing (along with the bumper cover and other things to be done)

So I wanted to take this opportunity to maybe get something different -
#1 - Stay with the stock oranges
#2 - Tinted oranges
#3 - Clear
#4 - Tinted clears
#5 - Other?

Although there are tons of picture threads out here specific towards different details, I figured we can get a thread going specific to front bumper lights/lenses. Im primarily interested in Red/Cayenne Red/SOM colors but post anyway if youre not red

No matter what I choose, the bulbs inside will be orange esp since i have DRL's, but im leaning toward #1, 2, or 4. Give me your opinions.... because my car is red it makes the decision a little funky, if it were black id either do #1 or 4


(See Sig for pic of my car, im at work now so ill put up a bigger pic here tonight)

I don't think clear would look good on your car, your car's front has more black on it. Either stock orange, or a dark color like tinted stockers or black corners.

I had a set of the black/whistler style corners and I hated that they leaked water. I went ahead and tinted my stock corners. I like these a lot better especially with the whistler modded headlights. I'll try and post a pic as soon as this rain goes away.

If I was you I would stay with the stock orange ones. Mainly because your markers already blend in with the car, and theres nothing like seeing that distinct GM orange light coming down the road in the middle of the day. VHT'd black would look good as there is already some black on the front of your car like SparkyJJO said.

Normally I say clear with chrome rims, but for the color and because you already have some black on your hood you should get black ones or tint the stock ones.
