Clear corner question...I know, I know.

At the risk of taking some crap for asking a question about the much discussed clear corners...I’m trying to decide between the JDM clear corners, or the Rotary FX “clear” clear corners for my 2007 Galaxy Grey.
I kind of like the look of the Rotary Fx corners, but I’ve seen a few old posts about the build quality issues, and pictures of them half-filled with water. Has Rotary Fx improved the quality of their corners? I live in a pretty wet place and don’t want a couple of mini aquariums on the sides of my car.
If you’ve bought a set recently please let me know how they’re holding up.

I went with the JDM ones and I am completely happy with them, but can't help you out on the Ratary FX ones.

JDM without a doubt. I am very happy with my JDM... And I agree with Kaiser about the rotaryfx ones looking cheap and tacky.

Ya, I'll probably go with the JDM corners. I like the way the Rotary Fx corners sort of match the headlight enclosures, but I've only seen them in pictures and have worried that they might look kind of cheap in person. The build quality concern is also a pretty big factor.

Maybe I'll buy both types and see which I like better after living with them a while.

I have the rotaryFX ones. I think they look fine, but I'm not too concerned about the looks, other than the fact that they're no longer orange!!
As for the quality, I'm not too sure because she's stored for the winter. I'll have a look tomorrow...
