I keep reading on post after post about how somebody's 8 "needs" clear corners otherwise it just doesn't make it. What's the big deal with clear corners? Not only are they generally illegal, but to me they look anemic; I actually prefer the orange sidemarkers for the contrast they provide.

Does this thing for clear corners come from a movie or something? Why are so many so hot-to-trot for clear corners?

 

Personal tastes are different, but I for one think that the orange corner lights look out of place on several colors - including the titanium gray I have.
The car looks MUCH better with the clear lenses.

And by the way, wrong forum :p

 

If you prefer the yellow corners, keep them. The clear cprners come with yellow bulbs, so you still get a yellow signal. Most people prefer them, but they won't kick you off the forum if you don't change.

 

Because the car looks so much more natural with the clear corners.

 

good god! clear corners on the sunlight silver looks awesome

 

Yea...us silver owners know our car only looks complete w/the clear...i <3 mine...SO PRETTTY!!!!!

 

I agree. Initially it seemed like clear was something that would allow the 8 to stand out a bit but now the orange seems more original. I think the orange looks great since it breaks the 8's lines up a bit.

 

The clear sidemarkers give the 8 a cleaner & sharper look in my opinion, way nicer... especially on the silver!

 

The orange is OK on a couple colors, but I happen to think the clear corners look better on all of the colors. By the way, I've never seen (in person) another 8 with clear corners.

 

I'm fine with my orange corner lights, as long as they work. I'm saving my pesos for my GT35R setup.

 

dam right the clear corners make the car look sharper... especially on the VR...it just makes the car stand out better...

 

Clear corners ROCK!! The help take to lines of the 8 to the next level. Mine are on the way. The 8 is sold in the rest of the world (except Canada) w/ clear corners. I'm not sure why the US is different. Maybe a state or two has a law against them? Can't wait......

Hey Ti...

Why break up the lines??? Explain?

They are illegal in Texas, but the cops don't seem to notice them.

 

I agree with particular colors looking bad with the orange. I think the Blue is a terribel contrast with the clear. You can see them (orange) in my sig. They are clear now. (...note to self : gotta update sig ...)

 

Come to Singapore...all of the authorized 8's here have clear corners stock! They have orange bulbs, but doesn't matter in this tropical climate. I won't tell you what we have to PAY for these cars here (or any car for that matter)...you'll think clear corners are the least of our worries

 

Clear corners are perfectly legal... its the colour of the bulb that may cause a problem... so long as the bulb is amber, your fine just about anywhere you go. Not only that but the orange ruins the look of the car because it just just jive well with the body colour.... especially if you have certain colours like red, yella, blue..... the white of the clear corners gives the car a cleaner, fresher look

 

Totally agreed....

 

I dontlike clear corners either unlesstheyre on Sunlight Silver or Black Rx8s.

I wonderwhat some of themwould look like if you painted themto match the exact color of the car. Probablywould look too clean

 

I luv the clear corner look, orange doesn't look good--especially on Blue or white.

 

looks hella better with clear corners ... I know , I use to have a 8 without clear corners, and a highly modified 8 with clear corners, the one with clear corners definitely got more looks

 

I dunno, I dont like the whole clear corner approach on most cars. Thats probably because im into the whole black wheel, cf hood, amber lights look... its all preferences I suppose.

Whatever floats your boat~!

 

well... minus the cf hood on 8's anyway :p

 

i love the orange! whats so wrong with us-spec...........i was just bitching about the hole you "NEED CC" thing a few nights ago:D

 

Clear looks ok, but I don't like that they aren't flush with the body like the amber lenses. What I'd really like are lenses that perfectly match the Lightning Yellow!
