Is it just me or does the OEM sidemarker look better on Trueno than the clear? I think the orange is a nice compliment to the dark blue.

I kind of like them too. I have had the clear ones sitting in my garage for months, but I have yet to install them.

Probably put them on soon and see how I like it. There is a car on the front page of this thread with the clears on.

Huge personal preference thing for sure. I think the clear just slaps on the Trueno extremely hard. It also matches the clear / white boomerang DRL very well

Man, if I lived where it was sunny all the time- that is the color I would have gone with. Looks fantastic.

Looks good in the dark too! In person, it almost looks purple.

Absolutely. It's a stunner in any lighting condition. It gets almost bright "true" blue in direct sunlight, especially with the ample metallic fleck. At night it gets dark blue/purple/black depending on the curvature of the panel.

The car is NEVER just one color. It's as close to color-changing paint as you can get without actually looking like it's supposed to be color-changing paint. Particularly with a ceramic coat on it.

Finally did my clear sidemarkers, I actually like it a lot now that they are on the car. Also installed Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs.
