Cool Clear or black, which setup would look better on my Z28?

Well I wanted an all clear kind of layout for my car and not go with the black out look (because all the black overs I found cost an arm and an leg). Well I found some tail light. head light covers, and some other things that are not to over priced ($300 for a black plastic cover is to much IMO). So here is the two layouts I'm thinking of about going with. Tell me which one you like the best.

1st the all clear design,
Diamond clear bumper lights

Diamond clear singal lights

Euro style tail lights.

Third brake light
Sorry the site is down but just think of a clear 3rd brake light with two red dots.

and the second setup is the black out setup,

Black tailight covers

Headlamp covers

Black Turn Signals

Black fog lights

Thrid brake light,


Note I will have it changed to just Z28.

Blacked out side markers with logo.

Note I will have it changed to Z28 as well.

So which setup do you think would look better on my car? If you need pic of my car check the sig.

Thanks for reading,

Chris

however if u were strict to the choices...i'd do no 2 the black..plus its cheaper =) and i dont like the euro taillights =)

I have all mine blacked out
fronts which are usualy staying in the trunk coz you can't see $hit through where about $45 new. Back once I got used for $25. Corners where $30 new and the can of VTH tint in the can for side markers and 3rd brake light about $6. Comes up to about $100 all together
I still want to put the clear corners undernees the blackouts. Since I have a day running lights this amber lights are always on and it's pissing me off. They got realy cheap on ebay so I might as well get a pair.

I've always thought that blackouts look much sleeker all around.

Clear corners and Altezza's always stand out more. That's not the look I try to get.

So I take it the LS1 headlight covers will not work on my LT1. How about the blackouts will they work on my LT1?

Well you have a white car, and so do I. Whenever I used to ask people for opinions, everyone said go with all clear, it looks better on white cars, it has a clean look to it. I think I'm going to go all clear, I do like black though, but I saw a white car with clears once (in person) and it looked sweet. Plus colored bulbs go good with clears, if that's your thing.

Yeah if I go with all clears I would go get some LED's in the tail lights, blinkers, and other clear things.
