99RegalGS Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 I've seen quite a few Regals with the clear side lamp cover. And I see some with the amber side lamp cover (like mine). I've seen them both on every 2dr model type so I don't think it's that. Does anyone know why this is? EX: vs. my sig. Quote
Bake82 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Sean i don't know, but I remember Shawn(Gnatgosplat) told someone that those clear corners came stock on some Regals. So I'd either hit up a Y/J or the Dealer if you are looking for them. I don't know why, but My guess is different years with different Option?? who knows..it is GM we're talking about here! Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 I think 92-96 are clear. Yours are amber because 88-91 didn't have the little amber reflector on the side of the bumper like 92-96 do. Law says there must be some amber reflector somewhere visible on the side of the car in front of the wheel. Quote
99RegalGS Posted December 2, 2003 Author Report Posted December 2, 2003 I have the amber reflector. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Ah hah! I got down to the bottom of it with some help from Autotrader, heheh. ALL 94-96 Regal coupes have clear corners, including GS. All 92-93 Regal coupes have clear corners EXCEPT GS! So there ya have it. Why 92-93 GS's were excluded from the change to clear corners... I have no idea. Maybe in the early 90's, amber = sportier? Personally, I prefer clear. I ditched the amber corners on my Silverado because clear is available. Quote
Flyby736 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 My 91 Custom Coupe has clear corners. Quote
jeremy Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 My 91 Custom Coupe has clear corners. do you want a cracker??? Quote
ismellrealbad Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 i dont like the clear corners on the regal. looks ricey. i prefer the amber way better...for some reason i dont mind the gp's clear corners though Quote
Ribbie Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 My 92 has the clear corners, not sure why.....? Quote
99RegalGS Posted December 2, 2003 Author Report Posted December 2, 2003 Thanks for the info Shawn. i dont like the clear corners on the regal. looks ricey. i prefer the amber way better...for some reason i dont mind the gp's clear corners though I like the clear only on dark colored Regals. I like the amber on the lighter colors. here is a pic of a Black Regal w/ clear corners. I want a black Regal too. I think it looks good. Quote
