Default opinion on corner lenses

i have a vista blue GT and was thinking about getting new corner lenses just to change the look a little. do you guys think the clear or black corner lenses would look better? i know it comes down to a personal preference, just thought I'd ask if anyone had any pictures or comments. thanks

Black, just get some film. I picked up the film for all 4 corners, like 12 bucks for front and 12 for rear, precut.
Has lasted nearly 4 years
I didnt get the real dark stuff for safety reasons

I vote for clear. I liked the clear look better with the vista blue. I got mine off ebay for less than half the price of the regular mustang after market parts stores. With the clears you add in some silver bulbs that light up amber/orange and you're good to go. I got my bulbs from autolumination.com which have good prices. Overall the mod cost me $70 and I really liked how a simple mod like that made the front end look a million times better.

Its a rather funny way to sell a product, but through photobucket.

i think the clear would be the way to go with the vista blue, especially since i have white stripes

Clear!

I heard the ones on ebay fit the best! These do not sit flush towards the rear of the lens.

I also have the clear corners and mine don't sit flush towards the rear either. Maybe they have more of a curve to them and that's why they don't sit flush at the rear.
