What looks better?

Anyhow, I recently tinted my corner and bumper lenses, and I am starting to not like em, so I decided to ask your opionion. I am thinking of maybe sticking with the bumpers and possibly getting some stock corners.

Here are pics

Clears


Tinted

i didnt want to hate, but since your actually asking for our opinion....i think that the stock corners would look better unless you had black prjectors like ci5ic

ok, well since we all dont like the tints, a couple more questions

Bumper lenses - Stay tinted, or back to clear
Corner lenses - clear or stock (orange / clear)

I wish I could put the orange lense in clear bumpers.

clears look funny cause they're whiter than the headlights, and the tint is too dark, they both look funny. Stock is the way to go :up:

bumpers dont look that bad....but would look better in an all gray bumper. Clears or stocks look good to me for corners...just not tinted corners when the headlights arent.

I actually spotted this hatch online a while back that looks pretty good if you are into the whole amber jdm style look.

I will see what I can do, maybe I can paint thinner all the paint off the corner lenses, but with the bumpers I might just get new ones cause a rock hit one of em near the bottom and the chip is pretty substainstial.

exactly why i got jdm clear corners. they match the headlights perfectly. however, i don't recommend the jdm's for anyone who does NOT want to have sidemarkers

eh, im unsure what I really wanna do. The clear bumper lenses matched the headlights perfectly, but the corners were always brighter and looked funny. But I have read about this method which might make the headlights brighter...

Mine used to be too. But I took some 1500 grit wetsand paper and sanded them down. After that I used some mild buffing compound and a high speed buffer and made those bitches look like brand new.
