Ummm. I got my clear corners from Mazdaparts.com last week. Took out the reflector, and installed them... probably under 2 minutes for each side. It was a very easy install. Also quick shipping from mazdaparts, I ordered on a saturday and they were here thursday. Pics:

thanks

Get Rustoleum enamel Paint the color is actually Aluminum, how I did my wheels , I got 3 grades of emory cloth, rough Med and Fine, of course I am sure you knwo how to use those, so I got it down nice a smooth from the sanding, cleaned it all up with rubbing Alcohol so that gets rid of all the dust, brake dust and also evaporates so no hidden fluids while painting. I then taped off the tire so no drips, an I do paint for a hobby so I have a pretty steady hand, I got a liner brush ( thin brush) dipped in the paint and just painted away slowly and with a liitle paint at a time...better do do smaller coats than one big heay swipe. But now you can not even see there was a Boo Boo... and for your SS it is a perfect match, I would not use on the hood or such , but for lower issues I have used it and it looks great...hope this Helps Jay...and the wife loves!!! the way the clears look!!

thanks Papa...I'll try this after labor day . It is amazing how the orange stock corners would distract from the appearance...now you see the car first not the orange then the car I'm glad she likes it.

Today I just installed my clear corners with stealth bulbs. Great service working with Jason. I look foward to doing a lot of business with you in the future.
Wow they bring out the fenders and the front just flows smooth now. I could not stand the orange corners.

Thank you for your time Jason and as soon as my TSW's come in I'll be needing them MS springs & shocks and Strakes in time for SS9!

Jason, If I order the MS sport springs on/in Oct 6th or 20th, How fast can you get them to me? 89117
I'll pay extra. I need them before SS9 so I can get them installed.
Thanks,

I think a week (7 days) is cutting it short. Can you do it any faster? I'll pay extra.

I would like to get oem hids befor SS9. That would be so cool to have them in for the drive... Hummm. Are they just the lights? or the assembley with lights?
Can you pm me a price?

Thanks,

-Gill

it would ship next business day or same day if lucky (ie if you ordered right now I could ship it tomorrow). and arrive within 5 business days

Simply order through these links:

Here it is with Stealth bulbs:

Here it is without Stealth Bulbs (fyi 98 percent of orders include the stealth bulbs):

This may sound dumb but what are the stealth bulbs compared to the stock ones? Do they change color or something?

The stealth bulbs are orange under the chrome coating.

The stock bulbs are white.

yes 4 years is right

the Stealth Bulbs during the day you can't see them when they are not lit up as their mirror finish hide within the clear corner. Same for the 7440 turn signal bulbs we sell, the silvery coating blends in with the headlight or tailight array until it lights up and it is a bright Amber.

Since it glows Amber it is DOT compliant which most states require by law.

man, i'm glad you guys clarified this for me. for some reason i always thought it was the other way around - that you would want white for stealth rather than the amber. makes sense though to get the stealths and still be legal. with christmas coming up it's quite tempting to get a set for me and one for my sister. i never know what to get her and hers is a SS which just needs it. hmm......
