Default Installed clear corners and new shift ****

I installed some new clear corners and I am really please with them. I hate the amber look, I wish it could be removed from the Headlights. It's wierd, on the silver car they look silver in sunlight. They look good though and well worth the $50 I think.




I also installed a new shift ****. My factory one was missing a part due to stereo install but it didn't matter, I had this before I ever took my car to get installed. It looks really agressive and goes well with the color scheme of the car IMO




Let me know what you guys think

You could get the chrome headlight overlays from Bat. I saw them on the website and the look pretty good. www.bluebatmobile.com
By the way I saw you stereo install on the other thread and I have to say that is the best install so far. FREAKIN AWESOME.

Thanks for the compliment and more importantly thanks to you both for pointing me to that website. I will definetly be ordering those overlays. Also, I will be replacing those yellow bulbs with some different bulbs. They make these silver bulbs that omit an amber signal so they are still legal just no amber look of the bulb.

It looks like a sticker in the picture. Does it look better in person, or worse?

It is a vinyl overlay, looks good IMO. Plus I think it's like $30 as apposed to spending the money for the whole housing. The best part is if you don't like it, just peel it off.

Okay, can I make another wish. How about ones that are a little bit more reasonably priced. They are sweet and all but $995, that's rediculous. They should have over some trade in deal or something. Thanks for the link but wow I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that price.

or you can just take the strip out by paying someone to open the housing for you. i'm replacing that strip with one of Ares clear strips, but so far i've been waiting since march for those so it doesn't look like he's taking ne more orders on that.

..and those silver bulbs work great. i have em and you can't even notice the bulb

clearconers.com is the rip off. they're the ones who charge you a grand. there's a DIY on how to open the housing, but i wanna leave it to someone who's actually done it before. there are people on this board who can do it for around $100...maybe more or less, but no where near a grand.

150 is the going price to open the housing, I wanna say 80ish to paint it black.

in about 20 years I should have clear strips for sale again for 80$ a set. so your up to 310$.

if you wanna go all out, I have LED turn signals for another 90$, 400$ and you just missing the white strip of LEDs down the reflector. not bad for 4/10ths the price.

Know anyone that does it well in SoCal Ares? I would just want the reflector removed if it looks clean under it when you do that, then resealed. The chrome look i don't mind at all.

Thanks, it's an Isotta shift ****. It was only like $40 or something. Had it for a while so I don't really remember where I bought it from but I am sure google can remember.

There is no lights on the markers, it's just a reflector.
