Clear Corners are Evil

I had no idea WTH anyone was talking about. Once I saw the difference on a black 8 I had to have them. I was tormented day and night. "You must have clear corners."

The torment has almost ended. Now I just have to wait for them to arrive curse you all. "Cornerss ers ers."

I must be in the minority, but I guess I just don't get what the point of clear corners is.

I've got clear corners on my black also...the only cosmetic mod the car has. I just think it cleans the lines of the car.

Zaino is our friend! Too bad the weather didn't let me put more on this past weekend...

Tiggerlee is correct: Clears are MUST, especially on black RX-8's.

I've always liked the color orange. Maybe that's my problem.

I prefer clear corners also, but keep in mind that in most states they are illegal due to the fact that they do not REFLECT amber (doesn't matter what color bulb you have). They are illegal in Oregon and Washingon (where I live and work), but I still have them. Chances are slim that you'll get pulled over if using amber bulbs, but keep your original ambers just in case you get a fixit ticket.

thats good advice. but how shitty would it be to "fix-it" by putting your ambers back in if you love the clear.

Just put them back in for the inspection and then go home and put the clears back on.

Yep, that's what I do. Not a big deal to swap them out once a year.

I'm with Glyphon on this one. Clear corners certainly don't look worse, but I don't think they look any better, either. Red calipers are a better minor cosmetic upgrade in my mind

I think the orange corners clashes with the red, but I like them on some of the other colors.

My problem is that my clear corners have shipped, but my car hasn't. : (
