Maybe instead of clear lenses, you could slightly smoke them just so the orange doesn't stand out so much. That's what I did. It keeps an overall stock look without distracting from the rest of the car.

Yeah, smoking them would be a better option for me. I may do that as like a freebie mod over the summer. (my friend does it.)

Well, I got in contact with a new vinyl installer...bumper stripes are coming on monday afternoon. Pictures promised!

I'm also getting the corners slightly smoked for free sometime this summer.

Looks good, I like the meaty tire/wheel combo.

I love the chin spoiler and it will look amazing after the lowering springs.

it looks good man! I'm glad you're happy with it! i agree though with the clear corners. I think it'd look stunning with your stripes! Smoked should look ok, but it goes against the color of the stripes and will just seem to be a dark spot on the front end. although it may look really cool as well with the black part of your chin spoiler.

I'm probably getting them smoked to an even shade with my paint. (just a slightly darker orange) I'm sorry, I just can't STAND clear corners. They just look really, really ricer to me. All that LED-euro crap.
