Default Clear side marker pics

I posted on the ZR1 forum but thought these pics would be of interest to anyone with a C6 in silver or white. I am really overwhelmed by the super clean look of the clear sidemarkers. Extremely easy install, 5 minutes. Here is a before and after.

By the way, ordered from Josh at RPI Designs. Great customer service, communication, and follow through.

Did you order the LED lights in the amber for the front and red for the rear? And, if so, is it still a clean look during the day when the lights are off? I am just using the original clear bulbs at present.

I use white LED's in mine, they match the HID headlights and look much better then the yellowish stock bulbs.

I've only got fronts right now, looking for some rears though. I'll go with white LED's in them as well... at least until I'm told otherwise.

I actually like the stock markers on silver. The clear markers look a little albino like to me.

Thanks! I know that not everybody likes a monochromatic look but I am going for a stealthy blend in with the road look. I think that our cars make "plenty of statement" without the clown nose and shoes.

Those look great on your car, nice subtle mod.

I replaced the front ambers with clear on my LMB vert. The LED amber bulbs make them legal.

i did but didn't use them as josh accidentally sent clears for the rear instead of red. i bought some red and amber 194s from autozone and installed them until i get the led issue straightened up. i put a light mist of silver over the amber bulbs so you can't see them. the reds were fine without it.
