Question What turn signals to get - Clear or Black?

I have a 2001 White Z. For Christmas my girlfriend got me some black halo lights for the car. I'd like to change the turn signals out as well, but not sure what color to do.

Go with a clean clear look that would match the white, so they blend in? Or go with the Black so they stick out (white/black contrast) and match the lights?

Thanks.

I'm a big fan of contrast so I vote for black.

I put clears on my silver Z, they look real good. I don't like the contrast. I like things to blend right in.

Black halos? Black turnsignals.

When I see white ones, for some reason I think of rice. Not sure why. I like the look of factory. There something about people changing lights that doesn't go with me. Kind of like people with beamers making there halos brighter, I still have my original ones on my car and they look good.

What really matters is what you like. Well, as long as it's taisty.

Edit: Ok, Steve, yours look good. I might take some of this stuff back.

or you can go to a hobby lobby and get a can of model window tint. it works great, just pull you lights off and spray the outside with about 15 coats, depending on how dark you want it. i used it on both my turn signals and tail lights... can save alot this way.

I think the biggest issue is my grill, as it is currently black. I do plan on doing something with it - just not sure what yet.

I don't want to end up with black halo lights, black turn signals, and a black grill. I think it will look too much Black and White. That is not what I want. I want a "smoothness" look from the car. Where things blend together, and it just looks right, where nothing really sticks out (too much contrast).

It's hard to find a good grill on a white car, but I'm learning towards one of these:



It's a carbon fiber look. Sounds ricey, but I think it looks good on the white. Then I would go with clear.... aruugh. I have no idea.

Once I figure out the grill, I'll be able to do the turn signals......
