unsstoppable is a good example of what i was looking for. the car is one uniform color, there is nothing to break up the color flow of the whole car except the corners. i think it looks better then stock, but anyways i was looking for manufacturers recomendations.

I recommend to not get them. I've seen too many cases of folks with problems of water getting in and under the covers.

My factory signals were cracked and leaking when I bought my car. Picked up some new cheapy clear ones because they were 15 bucks and tons cheaper than replacing with factory parts. I drilled small vent holes in the bottom of each, and RTVd the seal between the lens and the bezel and i haven't had a problem in the 6 months they have been in the car. Car has been high pressure washed and been through tons of Houston rain....
