If you do the smoked corners, you need to go with whistler headlights and a black grill.

If you go clear then do the chrome billet grill. I'm a big fan of the clear corners and chrome grill...

I've never been a fan of Halo's myself, but I know a lot of people really like them. If you like the look of them, get them.

I got my clear corners from afterthoughtsauto.com.

I agree with Cobra2WS6. It all needs to match. My car has a black top and black wheels so I got smoked lenses. I still need to do the Whistler mod if I keep my car.

I'd do chrome grille and clear corners. Keeps the theme going. On my car, it's black and white, so I went with black housed corners, halos, and of course my grille is black.

I love my clear ones. I think once the billet grill & new headlights an HIDs come it will look even better.

good question, either will look good. Smoked would be cheaper cause you could get a can of niteshades and do it yourself
