Front Bumper on a FD RX7
I'm thinking about putting a stock bumper back on my car. I have a Cwest on it, but someone I had working on the car broke the "lip". So my question is what turn signals do y'all think would look better? The clear one or the black one.

Depends on your options Tuan. I think the OEM one looks good w/out that bracket (plate) and with Lip. I love the '99 and I'm a fan of a few of the aftermarket bumpers i.e. FEED, Burnout, C-West, RE-A.

I say go with the smoked. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I do think the clear one's cheapen the look of the car. Heres some pics of mine

id stick with the oem with smoked lenses. but white bumpers can get away with clear lenses imo.

but in the end its what you prefer most, and what type of look your going for,

You cant go wrong with a 99 front end. If your staying with the 93 bumper get the smoked ones
