Default nice or rice? clear corners

I was thinking about getting clear corners or side markers whatever you would call them instead of the factory orange ones, is this a nice clean look on a black ws6 or ricey?

In my opinion it just depends which clear corners u get, because some are more ricey looking and some look real nice.

I think ultimately it is up to you! I would never call the clear parking lights "ricey" anyway. American made cars had clear lights LONNNNG before the Jap Crap era.

Its true.. my 71 RS/SS had clear turn signal lenses from the factory..

I like the OEM looking clears more than the "diamond clear" ones.. I hate to see the bulbs.. but its all personal preferance

mark me down as "NOT RICE"

I think clear corners match better on the front of the car (where there is no other orange to be found) than the amber colored lenses. The Diamond Clears match the headlight assembly's. JMO

Yet another vote for NOT rice. I was just out in the garage looking at my WS6 and realizing that the amber lights in the front looked out of place. If you found where to get the clear ones, can you post the link. I want to get a set myself.

Thanks
Paul

Does this look ricey to you?


If you say yes, then you deserve to be

I hope you don't mind me posting your pic Steve. It seems to always be the classic example.
