    IMHO keeping the stock ones and tinting them darker would look better than either of the two eBay options you gave ...

    I have clear corners in the front, I like the tinted look too, but these give me the option to return to stock whenever I want.

    Thanks for the input so far guys

    Since you got clear corners up front, I would go with the clear/red but put in or paint the bulb red for the turn signal.;) But if you are going to go with black rims in the future like a lot of guys do, then I would go with the smoked/red.

    Yeah, the Clear & Red's look clean on just about any color.
    I have carbon fiber tails to match my emblems, but I never got a chance to take any pics for a while.
