yeah i did apply it over my stock corners. i'm not sure about the clear corner application. i would think it would be no different. but i honestly haven't seen any clears up close.

Well that would be nice but there is no good quality vinyl shops around here!! I already have the third brake light cover like yours but it is black but the problem is I had to get it off of ebay due to no one around here would do it.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I got a guy here that is going to do this for me, I will post pics after I have the eyelids done. He also said he would be up to selling them to anyone who wants them. I will post more info when I recieve it.

ey just to let you know the JDM rx8 turnsignals are a different shape than the USDM amber colored ones, so if you're going to be making these for people, you should get a hold of the jdm clear sidemarkers so you can get the proper sizing/fitment for everyone.

He told me that he could color match any of the colors, I will let you know as soon as he gets the colors in and also I will see what he will charge.
He is using my car for a template. From what I understand he is supposed to get the colors in this week. I will keep you posted and post pics when we are done.

The guy that is doing this for me is out of town at the moment but when he gets back I am supposed to get with him to get this going! But here is the first attemp at the eyelids and matching the color, the color is a litte off so we are going to try again!
Let me know what ya'll think even thought the color is off.

we could make them as big as you wanted or how ever you wanted. I hope to talk to him this weekend and see where we are at with this, I am trying to get this going for the people that want them.
