Post should I go with clear corners or blackouts for my turn signals with this look?

The car is black and i'm planning on black ZR1 rims(aka grandsport), I'm also going to use front and rear blackouts, dark tint(limo on back, 30% on the sides), silver or red Z emblems, and a reflective(or red) CAMARO insert/decal thing going on out back. I'll also have a shaved antenna, and possibly a billet grill. So, now I msut know, should I put on clear corners, or turn signal blackouts?

if you are going to put blackouts for the rear, then I say go for the same in the front. That's if you would like to keep some theme for your car. I've got clears on mine, diamond clear corners, side markers, altezza taillights, to keep the look all around the car. Though I'd be carefull with the blackouts, I've seen several Camaro's with blackouts and their lenses are disformed from the heat build up.

If you have headlight blackouts, definitely do turn signal blackouts. As a matter of fact, I had that theme going for a while. Pics on my website in the sig.

Yeah, blackouts on te TS's would be great. Clear ones would just be a weird white blob there. Keep the car smooth. My car is white, so I am going with clear TS instead of blackouts.
