Exclamation Clear corners on a 91 240 fastback

What do you guys think? Do you think I should get the clear turn signals or keep then stock amber? I've got a pic of the same year car with clear turns but I dont think it would look rite without the side markers being clear to match the turns. Your opinions would be grateful.

I don't feel clear corners are ricey, they give it a better look than the regular amber. If clear corners are ricey then I guess a body kit is ricey and so would a spoiler.

To each his own. But in my opinion i have clear corner just the fronts and they make the car look a lot better.

yes, you have a point. i find myself disliking common mods to cars. if everyone has cleared corners, then i don't want them. guess that's why i don't like civics. maybe i should have put more time into my last response. it's all based on personal preferance.

I agree. I got a black 240 and I think the clear turn signals would look hella clean but still the side markers are still going to be amber. I'm just gonna go for performace first then looks. Thanks for the replys tho.

I like the ambers waay to much on black cars. It keeps with the darker theme. Clears are good for other colors.

I am going with the best of both worlds. Half/halfs from the 180sx.

i agree with stanbo.......
i'll be goin with the 50/50's too. they look hot plus with this car JDM is the way to go. none of the flashyness associated with boy racers. dont get me wrong, there is nothin wrong with clear bumpers. i just think the jdm's are more approiate.

The only problem I have with the whole clear corner deal is that the lenses are not clear. They are WHITE. They are white with amber; white, green, blue and I have seen red in front signals.

I would have gone with Clear corners if the lenses were actually clear. They are not and I personally did not want to install full white lenses on my car. That would take away from people recognizing my signal and give an officer of the law another problem with my car.

I do happen to like the white lenses on white, silver, tan and gray cars. They don’t stand out as much and seem to blend in more.
