you can also do oem euro impact strips which replaces that whole strip. i had evosport prepainted reflectors before but decided to go with euro impact strips later.

get euro impact strips or paint over them. euro impact strips are around $200 the same color as your car and paint over the lens at a body shop to be color matched is around $50.

if anything i say please don't get the clear bumper lenses.

Why not get the clear lenses, in your opinion?

Here is a thread on this topic.. I went with clear for now cause they were cheap and I hated the orange.. I will probably buy impact strips at some point..

Yep, I'm getting clear ones. IMHO they will look better with all the stock chrome strips and headlights. Plus , if I don't like it I can always paint them black in a bodyshop, and it would still be cheaper, than from that euro* company.
