the side skirts about maybe 2.75" off the ground and the fronts just 3" note that Zs have a short front.

I will be blacking out my headlights next weekend, but my dad insists that I dont paint the amber strips as they are part of the daytime running lights. Since I'm planning to get clear sidemarkers it just wouldnt look right with that amber strip still there.

Any suggestions on how to get that "clear sidemarker" look on my amber strips?

big-al...

This is exactly what I want to do with my headlights, but don't want to pay lots of money to Clearcorners for the same effect. No chance of you doing this for me 'cause I'm on the east coast.

How about posting step-by-step instructions of the process (or emailing them to me if you don't want your secrets out! )

I'd be happy to send you an Outback Gift Certificate for this knowledge.
