Noticing a nice new trend

I've been noticing a lot of black CLs with the stock lenses on and black housings (darkcl, vxcl, clpower). It looks real JDM! I hadnt thought of using the stock lenses until i did my headlight housings. I love the look now! Next up, type R lip!

thanks for the compliment clstyle, though i have changed it since then (for the better)

i cant say i'm a copycat since i noticed the trend after i put my ambers back on. although i did get the idea for amber top corners from you mike.

u mean amber bulbs in the top corners? cuz that what it did. or did you die the clear lense amber? i thought about that also, but it doesnt seem like it would look good.

oh yeah in my previous post i meant when ppl can tell the car is modified.

Yeah, I had to put mine back in because I cracked my clears trying to black them out. I was pretty much planning on putting the orange ones in anyway, since I figured i'd screw up.

On black cars I definately like the oranges better. Unless you have chrome rims and are going for the bling look.

It's not worth it to me, I don't plan on having this car for long anymore or putting anymore cash into it.

In my opinion the black cl's are the sweetest looking cl's when lowered on some dark wheels( still gotta lower mine ). and the factory lenses look great. I like hwo alot of us have the same ideas. you know what they say, imatation is the greatest form of flattery.
