Title: Clear or smoked signals for DiamandSh.??
Post by: Zilla on December 05, 2007, 10:04:53 PM

Hey everybody,
  I'm in the process of getting turn signals and everything redone.  I was wondering, what do you guys think it terms of smoked or clear on the DS ?  I feel very mixed about, if you guys have pics of yours to prove which is better, let em show!!!

Esy

e30 are meant to be old school, id keep them orange... i can show you pictures if you want it looks very nice, hehe

if not, i'd probably go smoked so everything stays dark and sober. just a matter of personal taste really

well, alpine white would probably be the only color that would make me want to change the original old school orange ones for clears.

I like it alot!  It looks really clean! for black you just have to keep it clean and subtle. I think me starting a thread like this clearly indicates that I'm neurotic as well!  I just want it to be perfect!!!!!

Then I must be psychotic.  I got euro trim, painted it alpine.  Then got clears, painted the bulbs silver and the screws black.  I like the look but don't take my word for it.  Ask asubimmer, :D.
