Default Cheap clear corner solution

$11 clear corners. Bought these from ebay. They're for a GS300. Had to bevel the edges of my bumper cover.

Here's a bumper mod. I bought this from a junk yard for $6. I had to grind a tad off the ends to fit. I used my emblem.

Thanks guys. They fit fine...you just need to cut about 1/4 inch length-wise out of your bumper. I don't think it would even show if you went back to the originals. It's that slight. They almost fit right in. If you don't miond them sitting slightly on top, no modification is necessary. Many cars have it this way.

Yeah, there's no doubt it wasn't a PERFECT fit, but it reall yis close enuff. You can't tell except from the angle I provided here...I did it specifically so everyone can see the worst pic. It looks great from two feet away. Good enuff fo rme. I am trying to get around the crazy prices I am seeing with this car.

I have the exact same style fix for the fogs...anbyone will be able to get them for between 40 - 100 a pair. I found a car that has almost the exact same fitment....more on that later. I haventt bought them yet, though...
