hey guys, trying to figure out which clear corners to get - the old style from rx8strakes, ahem, i mean rotaryfx, or the new style.

i have a sunlight silver and can't decide what looks nicer - kinda leaning toward the new so they will match the headlight lens, (and right now they are cheaper) but any pics of other silver 8's with clears would help.

opinions please!

 

if you had a black, i'd say new.... but not sure. Maybe if you paint the new ones silver.... not sure though. The old are tried and true...

 

I've been having the same problem with my WWP lol. Just can't seem to decide what would look better. But since you have SS I think the original ones would look cleaner. I've seen both on the SS, I'll see if I can get pics.

 

old ones are way nicer

 

+1 on old ones!

 

Old ones are JDM, the new ones are GAY-DM.

 

agree with john

 

I vote for the old ones.

Some who have the newer style say they look kinda cheap or you'll need to work on them to make 'em look better.

Either way anything is better than amber.

Ain't it pur-dee?

 

old

 

No corners. It's the new JDM.

 

i have the new and would prob never consider the old....then again i have a brilliant black :-)

 

i've seen a few pics with both WWP and BB using the new.. and it looks really really bad in my opinion... if there was a way to get the damn light to spread in the lens, then it might have looked a lot better. but right now it looks like a point of light...

 

even though mine are black now. Old ones would look better on a stock-ish 8

 

that's a really good point - and i think the final nail in the coffin.

You guys are right - i'm going with the old. Thanks!

 

old for sure, good choice

 

Keep it old school

 

I purchased the new ones cause they look sexy

 

I bought both the assembled and unassembled versions. There were so many glue bubbles in the assembled set that I sold them. I intended to paint-match the unassembled set but the more I looked at them, and the Mazda clears I already have installed, the less I liked the new ones.

I'm sticking with the Mazda clears.

 

If mine come like that i'm sending them back and ill get old clears........

 

+1 for an unassembled set if anyone goes with the newer non-mazda clear corners. the one set that i have seen that came preassembled needed to be taken apart and cleaned as the lenses were dirty on the inside.

 

I just got my assembled version today and installed both of them. Both looked like they came straight from the mazda OEM factory!

No glue or bubbles or anything -- They look so sexy 2 with the Super White LED lights i got with them -- Im going to post up some pictures later.
