    pic request, brilliant red E30 with smoked ellips

    I trying to decide if I should get smoked ellips or clear. If I go smoked do you guys think I should get smoked turns too, and euro trim? How would that look with clear fogs? Should I get smoked tails too? I don't really want to shell out for those tho...

    tks

      Smoked corners are a must on anything that still has unpainted moulding.

        I think if you do smoked ellipses, then you have to do smoked rears, and smoked turns as well.

            Red corners don't look bad. Mike, take a look at Vince's car :).

                    I don't like the all red tails cause the turn signal section looks pink.
                    I'm leaning towards clear ellips if I can find them, and I don't want to take apart new ellips.
                    Clear turns and euro trim would finish it off nicely.

                    I'll be in touch

                      Clear turns would look very very out of place on your car, especially with smoked headlights.

                        agreed...

                        It would be clear EE's, clear turns, and euro trim, with chrome kidney and euro grilles.

                          I still think clears stick out too much when surrounded by black bumper moldings, but its your car, eh?

                              Ive always been partial to smoked everything. I dont like how plastic-y the clear front turn signals look. PLus smoked is a little more unique, IMO.
