[THE EXECUTIVE]

Anyone know if this is available yet?

THankfully no

Why not? It seems like Cadillac is trying very hard to Europeanize its new models even down to the names why not go all the way.

I'm not sure how it would look, but ya think somebody would offer it

I think it would be more ricer than "European." Sometimes it's cool not to copy. Cadillac has always been a leader - or at least an inovator.

I agree....... It seems about every car is getting the clear corners..... I do like the clear headlights better than the other kind, but anything else im not fond of......

 

[JEM]

Particularly when you're talking about Godawful chrome-behind-clear crap like the Lexus IS/Altezza.

The car's okay, but those lights look so cheap...and yet there's people who want to emulate that.

Looks cheesey.....Good reason not to have it on a Cadillac.

 

[shaggygrosser]

Not to make myself sound too ignorant,

but what are "clear corners"?

(Dude, sorry I hit edit instead of reply. Your message is in tact. DOH!)

Are you guys crazy?! or just secretly riceboys ...I'm ashamed that you even know the term (I thought it meant making the rear pillars clear cuz it's a big blind spot!!). :banghead:

Sorry again.

Europe and Japan do not require amber reflectors, as does the US. So the front corner lamp can be clear with an amber bulb, instead if amber with a clear bulb.

Since the trend started with Beemers and VW's and migrated to the ricers, knowing about this isn't as bad as not knowing about it.

The tail lights is one of the major things that makes the new Altima so dated looking already.

Always? Hmmm...

Try looking for an export part number at the dealer.

I think it'd look cool.

 

[Chuck C]

please focus your attention now on phatcad's cts...notice how gorgeous the red tail lights are...love it!

 

[BUILDINGCTSAMG]

yeah seriously! I love the red tailights but i might do the super trendy tinting of some of them, although im not sold on it yet!

 

[Andrew60SP]

I think some of you might be confusing clear corners with the clear tail-lights.

I hope this is what Executive had in mind (see attachement).

The CTS pics at the European and Japanese Cadillac sites still have the amber reflectors so you'll have to look at the aftermarket.

Good Luck

Yea guys, wrong corner!:banana:
