    HELP: Smoked or clear?

    What do you guys feel about my turn signals? A lot of people say they like them clear, but I feel the front end looks more menacing when you just see the headlights peering at you. This is a quick pshop of what I believe it would look like. Keep in mind I already have the amber in my tails blacked out as well as my bumper reflectors (not shown in pic).

    Clear:

    clear looks better with the stock headlights, black headlights=black markers

              Don't go to amber, and I wouldnt go smoked either. Keep the clears, and upgrade to the post-facelift grill, looks much better imo.

                That would require a later style hood too.
