Default 4th gen "JDM" corners

does any company make such a thing, or has anyone taken their stock corners apart and painted them?

i'm talking about a style like this, but on a 4th gen:


i made some DIY jdm style headlights for my car, and i think it looks pretty weak with stock corners.

thanks.

You might try autodynamic.com. I know they have lots of good 5G stuff, anyway.

I found some cool Amber corners for a 92-93 here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2400087433

those amber corners are incredibly gay. they're just some euro clears painted. there are no such thing as jdm corners for 4th gen because they have 1piece headlights.

autodynamic has jdm STYLE ( :rofl: ) corners

that's what i was afraid of. a few people i know have tried and failed miserably. has anyone here painted their 4th gen corners themselves (and had it come out looking good)?.

I tried to do my corners black housing before i did my headlights...they didnt turn out as well as i wanted. what i did to get them apart was take a dremel, and cut all the way around, which unforunatly made a frosted look all around the edges. I also accidently used grille paint, so its a not at all glossy.



When I finally get a chance, Im going to do the headlights, and try to save those corners. Im not sure if I shoulda just did a strip around the outside, or the whole things. Im also doing the wheels in a dark gunmetal. But the coners do look really tight when you are in front, they just look like **** up close.

well.. since i didnt have anything more important to do, i went out, took them off, and opened one up and painted it the gunmetal color that my wheels are going to be, since i didnt have any black paint. I wont be able to post pics though, cuz for some reason when I try to get them onto my computer, it just shows quesion marks, and no photo.
