I have a Seal Grey car so the clear ones IMO looks better. It matches the color of the car almost perfect.

I think the yellow blends with orient red better than clear. JMHO.

I agree, I couldn't believe how much better my seal grey c4s looked with the clear side markers... you're right they almost match the paint perfectly.

I do not change a car apperance - I'm of the strict school of product authenticity. I'm also leary about performance mods - unless they are strictly sanctioned by the manufacturer.

I prefer the orange side markes with Guard's Red. On a white or silver car I like the clear ones.

ADIAS - The clear side markers are a standard Porsche part.

Me too, I had clears, but put the ambers back on. Seems to tie in the colored chrests on the rims. Just didn't look right with the clears.

I resisted the amber haters for 5 years - but I put in clears last week.

I think I may have asked this before, but are there ambers, clears and smokeys? I wan't to get "clears" but I think when people say clear sidemarkers, somtetimes they mean "clear" and sometimes they mean "smokey"

There are two colors as shown in Tool Pants photo above. The clear ones are clear but against a darker color they look "smokey".
