Default Opinions: Clear side markers or not?

I just bought a 2001 C2 Cab, Seal Gray with Gray top. Do you think the clear side markers look better than the orange? Also, what about silver "Carrera" emblem vs. Black?

Personally I like clear side markers, its the euro look and I think its fitting on a porsche.

I did it and I think they look fantastic. They are only going to cost you $30 and take 2 minutes to install. If you don't like them swap them back and sell them on ebay......someone would probably give you $60 for them

I just made the change a few weeks ago (also bought them from Suncoast) and the change was amazing. I gives the car a totally different - and better - look. I wish that I had done this much earlier. I will never go back.

In addition, the lens only take a few minutes to change.

I have the exact same color combo (seal gray with gray top), and the clears make a huge difference. Cleans the front end up, and I'm told it adds 10 horsepower.
