Tinted corners of clear corners?

Ok i have gunmetal rims and tinted windows so I wasnt sure if tinted corners would look better than clears.


Opinions are appreciated!

i gotta agree about the wing and i'd stick with ambers on your car. i'm obviously going to suggest a drop too.

Ya as ricey as the wing looks I kind of like the way it changes the slanted trunk. The slant never grew on me, and even if I wanted to get rid of the spoiler it would cost a lot of money.

He'd have to fill the holes drilled into his trunk and repaint

And I say clears, I like the wing, looks good on YOUR car, not a fan of it on most, but I vote for clears, you should start a poll

My car is going to be totally black when I'm done (for the most part.) Black rims, black paint, black tint (15%), black tailights. Black out ftw. Just need the rock blocker, and the smoked turns.

Black shoes, black hair, black hat, cadillac. Horned, I dunno if I ever saw pics of your car, did you post any in the black pic thread? And personally moteg, my vote is clears or tint your ambers, they look pretty slick on your car, I have grown to like ambers on black more and more

+1, depending on how much I pay to repaint my bumpers, that spoiler could very well be my next mod.

Can I get some back shots of that thing?

maybe on an all black cl it looks nice.. i like the wing only cuz it fills up that big dip from the rear windshield to the trunk, i always thought the cl was ugly from the side view without a wing, i just wish there was something in between the oem spoiler and the type r one, i like the style of tthe type r but its too high up but again it fills up the back end of the car and makes it look nice in my opinion

It is nice to see that wing on another car. I think I am going to tint the corners because if I dont like it I can just rip the tint off and not lose much money. When I do tint them where should I go to get some tint? I just want to buy enough to tint them.

5 minute rule sucks for editing, anyways to put it in a better way i like the type r spoiler cuz it takes away from that egg shaped side view teh first gens give out, from the roof to the rear windshield to the trunk there is a big egg shaped dip and it looks even worse i think on a cl with no spoiler at all, to fix that a bit i keep my sun roof thing popped up at all times to give it some more dimension, but anyways once you drop your cl and keep your stock corners i think it will look great cuz your black, the cl i mean lol

That looks nice black. I was thinking about getting some projectors off of ebay and putting yellow bulbs in them for fog lights.
