Clear corners for MP5

[CyberFormula]

Are there clear corners actually made for our MP5? I searched the forum and I only found people using ones for RX-7. Thanks.

 

[Kansei]

No, none made for the car. You can get RX-7 ones or ones for a newest-gen Celica. I believe the RX-7 ones require a little modification to the hole in the bumper.

Does that mean the Celica ones fit perfectly? If so how much does it cost and where can I get one? Thanks again.

 

[Kansei]

I dunno, before I got the bumper without the holes, I just painted my stock ones to match.

The Celica clears still require some modification. There is a do-it-yourself somewhere on here. It's been so long since it was done on my car, I don't remember how to do it. Wish I could help more!

You can find the Celica lenses on eBay for really cheap though.

I got my Celica sides a couple days ago. Simple install. Just turn them upside down and they fit perfectly!

I'll post some pictures this weekend.

Now that will work! *Runs to the internets to go shopping*

ones from an Eclipse are said to work also.. I used the Celica ones and didn't have to cut my bumper any! No modification necessary! Was a quick and easy mod!

Or you could tint your stockers with nite shades. About $10 a can at your local tire store.

Don't rule out color matching them. IMO its the cleanest look.

 

[Kansei]

Yeah if the car is silver or black or another easy color to match..

but not even having them anymore is teh awesomesauce.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

id rather have them and have my bumper match my car ;p

hush you

if anyone wants a spare set of them to play around with, I have one brand new driver's side one (orange) and one sunlight silver passenger side one

 

[memo79]

Yeah Kansei, I agree that the car looks better with them completely gone. I replaced my fender-bendered (or bumper-bendered) bumper cover with one from an MP3. Looks so much better.......awesomesauce
Oh, but my bumper matches though

I also think that it would look best to have no bumper side markers at all. However I think it isn't worth it if you take the cost into consideration. Whether you decide to fill the holes or change a bumper, it would cost a couple hundred dollars. Clear corners looks a lot better than the orange ones, doesn't cost much, and it would be an easy mod if you can find one that fits which I hope I can.

I like my clear corners. I'd rather have a light on than no light; that light might save me from some idiot driver some night. (maybe) hehe

 

[silverpro5]

will these Celica lights work in my bumper?

edit: heres the install howto

 

[Lord_Zath]

That's the corners I have. IIRC, I had to cut a little into the bumper to get it to fit right. No big deal since I never plan to go back to the stockers.

Well I just got my Celica fights tonight and
-they DON'T fit (too small, openings in bumper are exposed
-they weren't cheap
really annoyed. not sure what to do. I might cut a thin sheet of styrene plastic offset 2mm around the celica lights profiles and paint that plastic to match my car....
