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.

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 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.

..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
