is it just me or u kinda feel the same way too?

i just got my clear corners installed yesterday and boy do i think that $hit is gay. it looks ugly as heck on sterling mist, im seriously considering puttin back the stock oranges. the stock oranges look MUCH better IMO. i dont know if im not used to them or if they dont look good on sterling mist.


so what u all think about the clear corners, does anyone have a pic of the smoked ones on a sterling mist? maybe ill buy those if they look better.

i know this mod been out there for years but i just got it and im not diggin it that much.


btw anyone got pics if sterling mist with the smoked clear corners that redlinemax/CM sells?

don't think you wasted your money because you can still paint the clears into smoke. you gotta paint the inside of the lenses....
good luck, it shouldn't take you too long to smoke them.

I loved my clears the second I put them on. I did a comparison before I did the other side and the side with the clears looked so much better

I also like my clears not only because I think it looks better than the stock oranges, but also because its a little different from the thousands of other 4th gens I see here in NJ.

I keep my max pretty stock looking. However, putting clears in was something I have never regretted. It changes the whole look of the front end. I especially needed to do so on my red max...orange and red....not such a good match. The only color that I think the stock oranges look okay on is the green and white. Other than that, they need replacing......totally!

pebble beige must be a socal thing too...
I actually don't think the stock oranges look too bad on your car. I just don't like how the corner light never matches the blinker (orange) reflector. That is the big thing.

orange corners didnt look right on blue.

i love my clears. But i decided to put the stock oranges back on so that I won't attract ANY thieves. "oh look, a max with clears corners, he must have something in his trunk"

I feel that the clear signals are too much light on the front end of my black max. I don't want the visual attention drawn to the signal lights, I want the attention drawn to the nicely designed headlights and fog lights.

Mine are going to be smoked soon.

My 2¢.

yes this is definitely a matter of opinion.

when i installed my dc's on my maxima i felt it made the car much better looking.
they seem to blend in with the color more............ not such a great contrast, ya know silver/orange vs... silver/white

In my opinion i thought the orange was horrible. and im glad to see that its gone.
