Clear corner nit-picking

After staring at these clear corner lenses for months, I've decided that I don't like them.

I have the type that don't match the fender contour exactly.

Where can I get the type that are an exact match for the factory lenses? That match the fender precisely?

TIA, too many hits to read through when searching that don't have contact info. A Website or phone number is appeciated.

I've read posts in my searches that refer to the stock shape, but none mention a source.

clears are never flush with the fender on this car. everywhere they are standard, they are used as turn signals, so they have to protrude to be seen. thats also why theres a reflector.

you'll have to have someone build you a set of corners like that since the clear corners that we're used to are a genuine mazda part

Yes, that's what I have currently, too. In fact mine came from Mazda Japan still in the factory wrap. But I have corresponded with people in this club who have referred to a clear corner that mimics the contour of the amber lens- already an existing product. Wish I could remember who it was.

No big deal, it's not an important mod. I just like the contour of the amber lens better than the clears.

I think they're mistaken.
