Does anybody have any experience with either one? They don't have very good examples on their website.

I'm leaning toward silver trim. I'd prefer full clear, but I guess that's not an option.

^Definitely black on a dark car. Here is Colin's corner as a comparison.

Black trimmed corners are for the ZHP/ZSP package cars and silver trimmed corners are for non sport model cars. I accidentally bought silver trimmed corners for my first Silvergray ZHP and it didn't look horrible, but silver trimmed corners on Imola wouldn't look too good IMO.

Yea I've imola red.

Nothing else on my car is blacked out, except the window trims which come stock.

Still confused which way to go... :(

Is that silver? Looks a bit over powering to me.

I think they are. Came on the car and others here recommended going black. Open to a swap!

I'd recommend getting OEM if possible. It's more pricey, but the quality difference is there.

Another one backing OEM... and definitely go with the black trim.

OEM is literally 4x the price. If these khoaltys don't work I'll just put the ambers back on. For $25 it's worth the experiment.

I had these on my sedan, and they are definitely the way to go.

I don't have a sedan so I don't know pricing, either way my opinion is euro clears or don't do it. Khoalty is fine, but the quality isn't the same

I have the depo corners, I have moisture inside sometimes and the rubber that is outside has warped within less than 3 years. They look good but if I had the $ I would go oem for $150, although for 25$ if you replace them every couple years and sell the old for cheap local it would be financially smarter. I believe I have silver trim... let me find a pic :)

Same here. No problems. But I agree with everyone else saying to buy OEM clears. The Depo corners look fine and function the same, but if I had the money I would go with OEM clears. Depo corners are a lot cheaper quality and there isn't the same "heft" to the plastic or attention to details with the gasket and molding.

My DEPO corners from Khoatly on my ZHP were fine for 7 years until the car was written off. No leaks or fitment issues. I never cried. Haha

Well I thought I'd update this.

Installed everything a week or two ago. It all fit just fine. Corner fitment to the headlight lens could be a bit better, but I'm fine with it all.

Pics in the build thread.
