Help a brother out, please!
 

whats up guys, im new here but im on the mazda323performace.com forum. just looking for advice everywhere. i have a 92 323, lowered, intake, exhaust, rims, some motor uppers, etc etc.
it looks good but im desperate for clear corners, I MEAN DESPERATE. i read some of you guys hear made them custom made, how the hell do u do that. i live ontario canada, if any of u guys know where to pick them up (i also dont want to spend 200 buxx while im at it either)

thanx for the help, see u on tha boardz

umm there was a group buy that was done about a month ago i guess.

some guy set it up for some other guy to custom make clear corners for everyone who drove a 1stgen pro that wanted one.

i dunno if it might happen again. other than that, i dont think there are any other possibilities.

i made mine clear yesterday, i just took a hammer and hit the lens just hard enough to crack it then i took a screw driver and pried the rest of the lens out it looks pretty good i just have to do sum caulking around the top and bottom of the clear lens thats in side the amber one to waterproof it and they'll be str8:D

peace dante:eek:

im from brampton ONT, i'll check the guy out from that group buy, is "THAPRO1" for real about that shit about hitting it with the hammer or is he just shittin' me. is there a clear lens underneath the orange one?????????????????

plus, how did this guy custom make them??


thanx guys!

the guy who made them aparently worked or works at some sort of plexiglass factory/shop/whateveritscalled, and he took his own corner as a template to make the custom clear ones.

as far as the hammer thing, i'm pretty sure they are amber all the way through so it won't work. i'm not callin him a liar or anything but just dont go fuxoring up your clear corners because you think that it's some sort of amber piece of paper that makes it look like that.

i mean, havent you seen chunks of amber plexiglass in streets sometimes? i know i have. they are definately amber all over and not just on one thin side.

I can take a photo of a broken corner light that I have at home ..
That outer glass is all amber

i was dead serious thats how i got the amber plastic off. there is clear plastic behind the amber lens its not the same shape as the outter glass look at any of the pics of clear corners and you'll see what i'm talking about its that square clear plastic that's in front of the bulb i don't have the time to sit around on here and just make up garbage the only time i post is if i have sumthin useful to say, thats how i made mine clear all i meant was tap the outter lens to crack it so you can get it off just be sure not to break the inner clear lens its not that hard the whole thing only took me out half an hour tops.

peace

ohh ok , I know what you are talking about. But then the amber part is out and that whole part is exposed ,...

woudlent those broken outs lenses leak? or am ii wrong in thinking that theres no glue.cauklin to make them air tight on the inner part? .. sure its no problem to add soem clear caulking.. but does anybody know for sure?

i see what everyone is talking about now.

i was originally speaking of the broken piece. so really, we were all correct on the subject. though, i misunderstood.

it should be aight if you caulk it i took and stuck my corners under a faucet to see where all water would come in and the only 2 areas on mine that water came in is thru the top and the bottom because there is a gap so obviously i knew water would come in at those points so i'm gonna work on gettin em done this weekend i'm not saying you should all go out and do this because as bruce mentioned theres only that clear inner lens but the housing is exposed i actually like the way it looks when its all on the car but thats just me i needed new corners anyway because mine were all messed up so i decided i'd just mess around with them and it came out IMO tight so wut i'd suggest is go to a junk yard and find sum that are cheap and mess around with em to see if you like it

Cool.. thanks for clearin that up for me.. personally i dont liek clear corners.. i was just curious about if they would have leaked or not

cool wiper man, do they work as well as duals? and how much money/time did that take?

time an money.. well about 5 mins tops.. and free price wise.. i find they work as well as dual wipers.. but if you got a passenger they usually complain.. but who cares;) ..

its an easy thing to do .. all you do is pop the hood.. , pop off the caps on yer wipers.. pull the arms up at the joint.. then unbolt them.. then take the driver side one.. and move it to where the passenger side is attached.. and at the angle you want it at.. or as close to a 45 as you can get it .. then bolt it down .. put the cap back on and yer all set... plus you save on wipers because you dotn gotta buy 2:D
