Default DIY Clears finally on and a few updated pics

Hi Guys,

I finally finished the DIY clears today. Installation was a pain in the butt by bending back the wheelwell cover (but doable). Wanted to post the results of my labor and some updated pics of the car with GS4 wheels and spacers.

Yes I am interested in this as well, I have GS wheels, and I purchased a set of LS calipers, I put up for sale, becuase I didn't want to do the spacers...

How are the spacers treating you? no install problems?

How much was parts for the spacers and longer studs out the door?

Default Back to the topic...

There are many write ups on how the clear corners are done, but it would be interesting to know what material you used for the lens. That doesn't look like the usual Home Depot overhead light diffuser material- what did you use? Any close up pics?

nice job!! What lenses / material for lens did you use? I did mine first with clear lenses, but kinda jacked it up, so I used some stuff from Home Depot, but it still doesn't look as clean as I want it too upclose...How much did the lenses cost you? TIA
