Default Clear corners or clear/black?
What do you think would look the best on an 02 black vette? I can't decide between clear corners or clear/black corners from JW motoring. I can't find any pics of the whole front, only close up pics. If you guys have any pics, please post. Thanks for your help.

My buddy has a pewter C5 with the black/clear corners. It looks amazing. I think they'd look great on pretty much any color Vette.

Flynbyu2....if you're talking about mine they are actually the all clear corners (from JW Motoring) with the switchback LED's. It was dark that night we looked at them, so you probably couldn't tell. JW Motoring didn't have the clear/black corners when I purchased mine.

On a black C5 I would get the clear/black corners and the switchback LED's. In my opinion they will look better in the daytime then the clear/clear corners.

I have been leaning toward the clear/black, but I am hoping to find some pics first. I have the led switchbacks in my stock corners right now and they look great. I'm sure they will look much better In the new corners.

I think my site has those out of stock, but I'll have some Monday.

For a black car it's a hard choice. Both look great on black IMO. Im not at my computer right now but once I log back in I'll see if I can find any pics.

jW please let me know if you have anymore pics. I might be interested in the LED strip also. I can't find any pics showing the front of the car. All the pics are close up, only showing the lights.

Black for sure - it looks great. I have them on mine and I think it looks very sinister

Thanks,Matt
