I definitely prefer the sidelights, but probably because that's what I'm used to. If I had grown up in the UK then I probably wouldn't. But, I am the type that likes to make my car look a little different than the others. I had an '94 RX7 that was beautiful, Montego Blue. It was a Touring Package so had no rear spoiler. I got a rear spoiler from Japan and the Japanese tail lights that are not available options in the US. Just loved the way it set it apart.
As for the front lenses, I do like the clear, but maybe in the spirit of originality I'd better stick with the Amber.
