I like how there is a amber in the front and rear headlights. It does give it a nice touch (a completely clear set of headlights on my Sebring would look like a rice-car).

But ya ... the wide marker just don't blend well with the rest of the car

I absolutely hate amber on ANY car. I've always deamberified as a first mod to anything. Amber just looks 70's nasty and we're in the 21st century so everything must be blue LED'd Serioulsy, these cars are JDM and you don't get that techno futuristic look until everything is red and hyper white. That's just IMO though. There's also a thin line between the pink ricer crap and other silly things people come up with when it's not done properly.

This goes up there with lowering the car to remove "the gap". Any car looks better lowered. Nobdody knows why but it just does. You can take a pinto and lower and it would look kinda sweet

I agree with changing things around so the car doesn't look stock...but some cars look fine with amber. Ours definitely look good with them.

Amber seems to work with some colors like Imola, Red, Yellow but it looks bad on Black, Blue, White IMO.

I personally love the splash of color the amber gives. Did that sound very "male designer"-ish? Anyway, if I were to do anything to my silverstone it would be smoked markers and corners. After, of course, a front lip is added.

MY00-03 JDM
MY04-05 oem

That about sums it up. The color amber is not the problem, it is the ugly ass amber design on the USDM 00-03 lights that have to go.
