I got a pewter ss and i'm keeping mine stock. The only other i would consider would be smoked cause i dont like how with the clear ones you can see the white behind it and i just dont think it looks good on a pewter car.

Personally I like how the stock ones look. My car is pewter too and I kept debating, but something looks weird to me with the clear and smoked ones.

Ive got clears on my SS, and I think it works well against the pewter. Altho, for the look Im goin for Im probably gonna VHT them sometime this spring.

Whats the overall theme you're goin for? If you're planning on silver or graphite blackbird stripes and keeping chrome rims I say clear with stealth bulbs (that way the orange doesnt show when off).

But if you plan on going with say black blackbird stripes, or black rims then go with smoked/black.

Go with the theme of your car. Chrome clear or stock, and black wheels smoked.

I'm stock right now but will probably do smoked or VHT in the upcoming months since im buying black rims.

its personal preferance. i, for one, think clear just doesnt look right on any color f body. every ricer in my area has cleared lights, especially taillights which i really hate. if you like them what much, go ahead and do it. i wouldnt.
