Default .Jay - 1 pic/Couple questions

Alright, I'm beginning to think I should really get some sidemarkers. I have some spare change laying around, and also 2 extra fenders from my old LS, which I could practice cutting the holes for.

And, I was wondering what do you think looks cleaner..amber or clear bumper signals?

What do you think? (Either way, I'll go with my choice...but you never know, some interesting points may change my mind )

amber, i've always like the JDM sidemarkers n' all. Actually, many countries have that light there; it's functional.

the amber corners with amber sidemarkers just seem to match better than any amber/clear combo

Haha, if I were to keep them clear, I'd definitely sand them down.

Wetsanding and plastic polish works wonders.

When 8 out of 10 DAs with 92-93 bumpers paint their lenses amber, leaving them stock makes the car look different

in my opinion... amber lenses look better. EVEN IF tons of people are doing it... all clear is a bit too tacky.

EDIT: rota track R's would be

Stock bumper lenses aren't all clear, they are clear with an amber reflector box in them. No matter what angle you look at them they will never look "all clear."

Since when are stock lenses "tacky?"

He's probably referring to how Altezza's look. Yet, the resmblence is far from close.

I was actually thinking about some of these

But, right now, even the elderly, people comment on how sleek it looks with these rims. I have to agree...hence the reason I got them, lol.

Even so, that ratio exists only in some areas (and a forum such as HT). Living in Colorado has it's perks. Nobody even has one pieces. Nobody has sidemarkers, nor amber bumper signals.

Either way, I'm already unique, if you can believe that. Doing either one of these cosmetic mods would make it even more ....'rare' if you will.
