PICS of Black Corners... Way nicer than Clear

Here are a few pictures of Black Corners on my 2005 6MT. I would highly recommend them over clear (I used to have them) as I think they look much cleaner. Dont know how they would look on a different colored G though. You can purchase these on Ebay or similar sites for about $29.

The whole installation process takes less than 10 minutes but there is some bending required as the mounting brackets do not come as an exact fit.

Also, I would recommend purchasing replacement bulbs that look platinum when off, but orange when illuminated. These help to avoid the "ricey" look. Although this site looks real shady, they actually have some pretty good deals on the above mentioned bulbs.

I picked up a set from eBay as well. I have seen a lot of people apply the overlay or spray them black, and for the most part it looks good, so I figured for $30 why not just pick up a set and give them a shot. I'll post some pics when mine get it....

They do look good on the black car. I'll take the clears on BS though.

I like the clears with the black 3 bar overlays that someone makes on the board. Thinking about getting those.

personally i never liked clear anything on darker cars....just stands out tooo much IMO. clears look good on whites/silvers/lighter blues/reds. Clears on Black/Navy is just too much IMO....

^ I agree. I think clears on a darker car sticks out like a soar thumb. The black corners are very stealth on the black G. Very clean, nicely done.

I can vouch for autolumination.com for the steatlh bulbs, they are really reliable at a fraction of the price you pay at stealthauto.com.

Hmm...I do like clears, but on black, I do like the smoked corners! That's it...that's what I'll get for mine.
