Are the ebay clear sidemarkers any good?

It'll run you ~$80 for Euro molding at all four corners.

I replaced the rear center piece, so tack on like ~$35 for that if you want it also.

Where did you get Euro trim for only $80? The cheapest I found was BMA, and it was about $100. Add on an extra $50 if you want the center piece.

Nothing beats getting Euro trim for Christmas from your girlfriend though.

But if you want clear sidemarkers, just make them. It will cost you only a few dollars, and will look much better than the ebay ones.

ok I went to autozone and advance and neither of them had the reflectors in white...just red...BTW I am trying to do my sidemarkers like this http://strictlyeta.net/technical/sidemarkers.html
anyone know where to get them?

Please just paint your sidemarkers black, like TJ suggested. I did that with mine before I got the Euro trim and it looked decent. I used SEM paint and removed the bulbs aswell.

Charlie... I looked all over the place for some clear prismatic plexiglass. I was never able to find anything to do the diy clear sidemarkers.

hmm...I guess I'll keep looking...matt it really does look good imo...one of the guys at the meet even had them...BUT I think it would ONLY look ok on a alpinweiss car.

hmmm...I've been thinking about it and I think I am going to get smoked turn signals and smoke my side markers myself. I think the clear turns might look weird on a white car w/ mtech 2 bumpers.

Pull a Heeter, just remove them. Grab the duct tape.

Do it right and don't just pain them. Before I got my Euro trim, I smoked my sidemarkers myself. I removed the lenses as in Fred's writeup. I bought some smoked plastic cut to size from Tap Plastics. I reasembled them with the reflective stuff, and the smoked plastic.

That way, the sidemarkers still worked, and wasn't just spraypainted black.
