1. What's the point of bluring your plate out in one pic, but no others?

2. Where did you get that Euro front plate holder/

What's up with the clear front corners, amber rears, and U.S. trim? If you really subscribed to clear corners then go with rear clears first and keep front ambers. Euro trim would have cleaned up the look even further.

Otherwise, not bad. I was going to do the same with my old Style 5s but chickened out.

Do not listen to Denton, he's an Amber whore

Personally though I would roll with ambers all around and euro trim

Leave the clear corners and get clear tails as well

I will agree with the euro trim suggestion

And I would love to see the volvo lip painted no one has done that before

Oh and also...are you gettin coils?

It's not about ambers vs. clear. Look at any clean car in Rides and Styling and you'll see, if anything, clear rears and amber fronts instead of clear fronts and amber rears.

Clear fronts and amber rears says "I'm poor". It's not like the front of the car is more important than the rear. :confused

But yeah, ambers all around. :stickoutt

Yup with the next pay check I will be placing an order on clear rears and probably around late November I plan on getting coil overs.

I'm def getting euro trim maybe next week :dunno

still lost as what will look better, amber all around or clear all around or as Denton said the amber fronts and clear rears. I have a set of amber fronts I can try switching around to see what I like the most

I love amber all around but if you're amber-phobic just try amber fronts with the rest clear. Ambers are sharp and stand out, especially on Alpine. Clears are way too bland.

The part number is FRAM520 FF or type in "euro plate" in the search

Thanks I'll take some pics with the ambers on tomorrow
