Clear corners to Amber corners

Im not sure which I like better...today I got bored and swapped the Amber corner lenses back in. I think with my new VFN hood and the "race" look the car has, the amber looks alot meaner. Your opinions?

I'm switching back to amber. Looks meaner. Clear looks better for a show car, but amber has that edge to it

Thanks guys, I was thinking the Amber looks alot meaner myself, and no the rear markers are still red, not clear. The see through hood picture is just the cool thing to do these days haha.

I agree with the other guy, i think some cars look excellent with clear, others not so much..alot depends on the cars theme too, like wheel color, whistler mods, grilles, stripes, ect.

I think white, silver & pewter cars can pull of clear very well.

Yet, I think black, nbm, bgm, and darker cars, look alot better with amber.

And I can't really say I have ever saw any car with smoked corners, that I thought looked good.

clear corner's on black look great. i think the major difference regardless of color, is if the headlights are fogged over/yellowed, like the OP's are. you have no choice but to put the ambers back on since the headlights look so bad in comparison...
