Default Clear Corners
I have been interested in them for awhile. What do you guys think about clear corners in the front bumber on a 1997 Trans Am? A black one at that. I just don't know where to find/get a pair...anyone know?

Clear Corners definitally make a car stand out, and for being so small, they make a big impact

I would definately do the clear corners. I think they make the front of the car look really clean, especially on black.

I like both clear corners and blackouts, but on a black t/a I think blackouts would look better

I dont think clear corners look too good on darker cars. On a black TA I'd get some of that spray on tint and black them out.

If you search ebay, there are vendors who sell corner lenses that have the inside painted black sorta like the whistler mod on headlights.
