Pic of my clear lenses... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Effle18 · 03-18-2004, 11:16 AM

Here is a picture of my truck with clear lenses all the way around and the blue headlights. I need to take a pic at night so you can really see the lights. Also I put pics up yesterday in the picture section of the Chevy show at Moroso last weekend.

Looks nice! Where did you get them?

Effle18 · 03-18-2004, 12:38 PM

Thanks, I got everything from Ricks, but I went thru his store on ebay.(http://www.****************.com/) I was hoping this wouldn't make my truck look ricey and I think it came out pretty good with the white paint and all.

I did the same thing with the front and rear of my yellow/white 71, but I've not yet done the sides. Nice touch that cleans things up well!

tomsC10R · 03-18-2004, 09:14 PM

I think it looks really good. I'm going to be going with clear on the front and sides on my 68.

Oborny71 · 03-18-2004, 10:20 PM

I like it! Sweet truck! its got a nice stance

72chevytruckguy · 03-18-2004, 11:04 PM

whitesswj · 03-18-2004, 11:26 PM

**72afr** · 03-19-2004, 01:38 AM

I don't think there is anything you can do to make our trucks look ricey.

white68chevy · 03-19-2004, 02:02 AM

Those wheels are the Boyd Smoothe
correct me if i am wrong

68plus4sub · 03-19-2004, 02:35 AM

I think they look great with the right paint color.......yours being one of them, very cool.

Effle18 · 03-19-2004, 10:19 AM

Thanks for the replys and yes the wheels are Boyd Smoothies. I will try to get pics at night this weekend.

72BLAZERDUDE · 03-19-2004, 10:24 AM

Clear lenses on a white truck just seems to work better than any other color truck. Really cleans it up. I really like them on mine.

Effle18 · 03-19-2004, 10:29 AM

72blazer, I think your right they just blend right in on the white. They don't brake up the paint like the colored lenses but I like the clean look. I know they look good also on your Orange and Tomsc10's Blue truck.

bouncytruck · 03-19-2004, 02:25 PM

They do look sharp. Does anyone have pics of them on a colored truck? I've been flopping back and forth on clear vs colored. Not sure how the clear will look on my dark green truck.
