Default Amber or Black?

OK, I changed my mind and have decided to paint the car white. I still would like to know what kind of turn signals to get, amber or black? Info on the car:

93 EG hatch
spoon mirrors
spoon cf duckbill spoiler
cf hood
black rims with polished lip
black housing headlights
?????? corner markers

That is the only thing I am still up in the air about. I love the ambers but I am wondering if the black would flow better with the rest of the car.

It's dull because it is a chalkboard.

If you read what he had wrote you would know what kind of car he has. I would go with the black turns. Its not my thing but I do think it would look the best on your eg.

That looks pretty nice!

So far the black corners are winning!

I really like these new headlights and corner packages they have on EBAY now, but I don't want to cough up the $150+ to get them.

And what is so bad about it?? It is a clean paintjob. No wild graphics or anything.
2-tone paint jobs died with the 80s

do what you want though

Well I couldn't decide between red, black, or white, so I chose red and black.
lol, well i guess that is a good excuse.

you should get all white though

maybe with a red and black interior?

that is a good idea! I never thought about doing the interior like that and keeping the exterior white. I think I might have to do that! Thanks!

Need more information on the car. The car color isn't the only factor that will make or break this look. Anyway, judging off the picture listed below I would suggest purchasing the black. There isn't anything on the car that would go with the amber. It would standout, yes, but not in a good way. This is your car, but I would have more been interested in either a clear or black, pending final choice of car color. If you decide paint the exterior white like previously stated, go with the amber corners. Good luck in your decision.
