This is about as good of a price for new units as I have seen:

I changed the side markers and the rears, but I like the look of the orange on the front of the black car.

I've got a 2001 seal grey that, when I bought it (summer '06), came with the fronts deambered. The sides and tail lights have the original amber. I'm in the minority around here (I think), but I kinda like that splash of color, at least on the darker colored car.
Or maybe I'm just too cheap and lazy to make the change. But I honestly don't think I'd be any happier with the clears. For me, it would be a change for the sake of change.

You be the judge:
I personally like clear lenses all around because I think they make the car look more modern and up-to-date.

Keep them
I like the look of the amber on certain colors. It seems the darker the paint I think the amber looks better. But like everyone else it is your personal choice. Mine is arena red and like the amber.

Noone,
I am torn myself. I still have the ambers on my black box, and I kinda like the way it looks as well. Sammy, another forum member and an autocross buddy, deambered his black box this year and I gotta say it looks great and a lot more modern. The question I ponder is it worth $1k - $2k simply to get rid of the amber ? On some colors I agree, but on black I just don't think it's worth the price...
Just my $.02
Nick

its really not that expencive, as long as you shop around.
up to $500 for halogen clears on ebay, just have to wait till a set shows up.
maybe get a drivers side, then wait for passenger and vice versa. no hurry if you dont mind the look
your car looks great tho

Looks so modern with no orange.
Get it changed, you will find it is the best money you spend on the car, especially if you park next to a de-ambered boxster.

Agreed! I'm cleared front, back and sides. I hate the amber so much I went so far as doing the "amberectomy" on my headlights lol In my opinion it is a cosmetic must for the car.
