I think i'm keeping them clear, I don't like black with the red. Matching the color would be hard too, its red.

Not hard, it's called Duplicolor. Available at auto stores everywhere. My Alero and Auror are both matched. Below is a picture of my Aurora which is a shade of red.

heh, 6 hours is a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNG time. What did you use? a hairdryer? I used an oven when i did mine, took me about 2 hours to do both. Tomorrow i gotta clear my driver side corner, cause they replaced that one when i got in the accident.

It all depends on what you want, gloss would look good and flat would to. Black looks more factory if you as me. and hes my new thing, painted bezels wit the reflector!
