It's a personal preference.

I prefer the clear fronts, black and red rears and rs7 softlines.

As above down to you mate, i prefer the look of a standard s2 so mine has ambers and standard wheels... but i can totally see the appeal of rs7's or comp mo's with clear indicators and smoked rears....

Rob,

my personal preference when it comes to lighting, if you keep ambers, it has to be standard rears. mixing ambers with smoked rears just doesnt work for me. smoked rears go with clears up front, ambers have to go with standard rears. i dont care if its an OCD thing, its just how i feel lol

but on a red rst i hate ambers, and i love smoked rears, so clears up front and smoked on the rear, perfect
