Pics of clear corners I made

yeah, epoxy is just srong glue. It's the only thing I know of that is strong enough to permanently glue the plastic. Plus it dries really quick too. It's about $2.50 at home depot.

How much did it cost you to make those clear corners? Why didn't you just buy the exact same looking ones online for $30?

As previously posted by me, it cost me about $5 to make them - Epoxy + brushes to apply the epoxy. I didn't buy the ones on ebay for 2 reasons:
1. On ebay, some are about $30 to purchase, but look closely. Its usually about $15 - $20 for shipping on the ones that cost $30, which means a total price of around $50.
2. The ones on ebay (that i've seen in person anyway) don't fit right. Plus, I kinda like the large chrome area on the side when you make your own. The ones on ebay don't have that because of the design of the plastic. Mine are kinda bling bling which is the theme of my car. :)

Your right, the ones on ebay don't fit right, but you can only notice it when you get real close. Also the chrome looks real sweet. Nice job

Postby PureNocence » Tue Oct 22, 2002 7:46 pm

wow $5 ya you're right that is pretty cheap, but you gotta take into account your labor time too :D I actually bought my clear corners online and they look exactly like yours. They have the chrome side part and mine fit actually perfect. They even came with spare bulbs. I paid $25 for the set and $5 for the shipping. But hey I'm a lazy butt so I think it's cool that you can make your own stuff for your car...gives you a better sense of "oneness" :wink:

b]Ya, I was pretty stoked cause I live in Hawaii and usually the shipping to Hawaii is an extra sum of $$$ but lemme go check to see what the address is to that site. I'll get to back to you. Ya, I know it's not Pro Car Parts...cause I was gonna buy mine from there but I got it cheaper from teh other place. I got it saved on my comp @ home so I'll get you all the info ASAP :D [/b]
