what do you think guys? I really love how the car looks and every one who has noticed has said they look awsome..

Out Of Control!!
Normally, I'd say that any Orion is good Orion, but it looks like there's absolutely no light coming through on the nighttime one. If that's the case, then I wouldn't get them. I'll live with the orange ones for now.
I certainly would take the Porsche off your hands, though, if you're running out of garage space.
Good to see that your whites stay white. Nice socks!

i tend to prefer the clear ones- they are functional, cheaper and i like the look better... but it looks like they matched your color really well on those scylas!
good luck

answeres..
welll I seen them on a E430 and they do have some lgiht comign trought, but in my case they dont let any light come trought.
Some people dislike that, but I actually dont like the way it looked with the lights.
Evosport might have them in stock, I dont know it took them a while to get mine ready...
well they were $90 to my door, I think its not cheap, but its a good price to pay for a quaity product that gives yoru car a more sportier look...
Theres no light coming trought the lenses, but maybe its because I plugged the bulbs in the wrong way or something, but I liek it better that way...

Definately a better look.
I couldn't factor in the $90 USD ... so I spent $12 bucks CDN to buy BLACK + clearcoat auto paint.
1 coat makes it match the body in shine. But didn't like the fact that the light came through at night. (I think the side mirrors+headlight amber is good enough) So I painted a total of 3 coats+1 clear coat (for protection).
Took about a day for waiting on all the drying, here's the result, and I save a few bucks.. hehe
