Default Clear bumper or leave orange.

2 questions:

1. Those that have clear bumpers, do you like them to the point that you would recommend them to someone (i.e. me)? From what Ive seen on others cars here it is a tasteful looking mod.

2. Those that do not have clears yet in their bumpers, are you going to get some, or are you into keeping the car looking as stock as possible?

I see some on ebay for around $53-55 after shipping. There are 2 different kinds, the euro clear ones and the normal looking ones. I prefer the normal ones I guess, but to each his own.

I have the clear and really like the difference versus my OEM. I have the opaque installed but also have a clear euro set as a back up set. I installed amber bulbs and they look really cool when lit.

If your car is black or silver, clear looks excellent. However, on other colors, I prefer the look of the amber turn signals.

Dark silver or dark grey is fine.

I love the clear ones. (diamond clear ones are NASTY!!!!!)

Those big orange bricks have no reason being on the front of a Lexus!

Hahaha I would totally reccomend them.

I totally agree. It's one of the cheapest mod with a big difference in look IMO. Love it, clear over orange? No-brainer.
