today i was looking thu this magazine at the dentist office when i saw this add for a Rim company that had a silver IS300 in the add... the only real peculiar thing was that the FOG lights were CLEAR, not yellow, and the BUPMER pieces were CLEAR too!!!!
where the heck can i get that piece for my IS300?!?!??!!?
on the freeway i also saw a fixed up Mr2 spider (new one) and it looked like it had the same bumper pieces as a Is300 and they were clear too!!!
SOME ONE HELP ME please...if they dont exist i would appreciate a response saying so ....thanks

dp,
I'm going off the top of my head, but this topic has been flogged to death on IS net.
1. There were some board members who dismantled the OEM oranges and either sprayed them silver and changed the bulb or used some clear flourescent lighting material you get from a hardware store to create clear corners. I believe this necessitated baking the orange lights in the oven under low heat to get the parts apart.
2. There is a company called Clearcorners (I believe) that requires that you send the OEM lights in to them and they will turn them clear. You will be w/o the lights for several weeks. I think they essentially do the same thing as no. 1 above.
3. The Asian corner lights do not fit because they go on the quarter panel behind the wheel and not on the bumper corner. Different size lights.
4. I believe some company was willing to make and sell clear corners, but required a unit sale of about 500 units in order for them to initiate production.
IMO most of the IS owners on IS net are just waiting for the actual clear corners to hit the market. If this story has changed in the last few weeks and since IS net has been down, I would like some current info on this.

Regarding that ad you saw...it is all computer enhancement. It is a b&w pic with the silver layed in for the car. Take a good look at the tone of color to the whole ad.
