clear vs smoke signals on blue 323i, help!

[barberjohn]

i just got my brother's '99 323i 5sp, and really want to start upgrading it. the first thing that crossed my mind was to get clear turning signals. but as i thought about it more, i also thought that it would look cool with smoke front, side, and rear signals (whole assembly in the rear), and with the smoke signals have blacked out front grill trim and black eyelids. i included a pic of my car to show what the blue looks like. lmk what yall think.

paint your eyebrows the same color as the car....dont do black eyebrows with a blue car....

I'm trying to imagine the smoke, but it's tough. I'm not liking it too much, but it could be just the way I'm thinking of it.

i say clear would look the best with that color

blue eyebrows and clear corners

Clear tail light, side markers and corners will look nice. Use smoke if your car is black.

clear everywhere, my friend had this color w/sport package that included clears(a convertible) dont do the black grille or eyebrows just do the clears and save up for nicer wheels, or some bumpers or something......then move on to the engine

i have smoked corners on my car... what they call 'smoke' is only very lightly tinted... imo looks much better on any car, clear looks too bright and distracting imo.

I would go with the clears all around. In stead of blacking out the grill get one of the carbon fiber ones they look really clean. I had my grill blacked out and had to switch when I saw an e36 at a show with the carbon fiber one.

I just smoked my rear tailights ill get some pictures to show you, and it came out looking really good, but my car is black so it works better IMO
