Clear Corners

Looking around I see that clear corners run about $80, does that sound right? Also where's the best place to get em and how easy is it to install them yourself?

That's about right unless you find some cheaper on ebay or in the for sale section of the forum, you can get them from rx8strakes.com for $70. I am looking to get some soon myself, I hear the install is fairly simple.

Are the clear corners from rx8strakes.com fit flush with the fender like the amber ones? The clear corners that I have seen are shaped somewhat different than the stock amber ones and protude out a little bit which I don't like. I don't know why they make them like that instead of being shaped like the stock ones.

^^ Yes, all the clear corners stick out because they are designed for the Japanese market version of the RX8.

Overseas markets have different visibility laws, so they need to be able to be seen from the rear quadrant.
