I agree here 100%
Might as well put a spoiler on the trunk, and some flames on the fenders...
Consider whitewalls????

The only person I was calling out was myself....

I know I've posted in the past about how much I enjoy the sharp kids on this forum. But sometimes I'm overwhelmed with a wave of "crotchetity" at certain posts. If I was smart, or polite I guess, I'd just keep my mouth shut, but sometimes you just want to make some of the other 'olds' grin.

Even when being a smart-alec I don't intend to be mean spirited. Promise.

Clear corners and Euros, look great

Just installed a great set of Euros and clear corners from Katmac Imports. These look great on my wagon which is Azure Silver. The corners even use silver half covered bulbs, which allows them to look silver, no yellow unless lit. The lenses are clear and the chrome reflectors give it a very nice look on any color MB, but in my opinion flows really nice with silver.

I don't have a pic handy of my car, but here is the ebay link to the seller with a 126 in silver with them installed.

I've got the same one's and I don't like them all that much. See how the "clear corner" isn't clear at all. It has a milky white look and doen't match the headlight, which is actually clear.

There are others that are of higher quality that are truly a "clear corner" and match the headlight much better.

I believe Stephen (smooooth) has a set of these.

Of course, the look is better than the original amber corners, so I'm being exceptionally critical.
