Clear Bumper (side flare) Lenses

I couldn't seem to find clear side flare corner lights.. You know the ones on the rubber flares on the front of the car? If they exist please point me in thier direction, if NOT I am an accomplished moldmaker and have made clear lenses with great success before and could make some...I just don't want to waste the time/money if they already exist..

Let me know folks..

ive definately seen them... ill have to remember where (edit: i just realized they were probably 1st gen)

just an opinion, but as usual they look pretty tacky as they really 'glow' on the black background...i suppose some tinting would fix it though

I have made smoked lenses (not sprayed but actually colored lense material) in the past for my other cars..

I like tinting them out. They basically disappear when not in use...

I bought the tinted strips from outmotoring.com and they look great!

I am not a huge fan of the blackout look unless it is on a black mini or occasionally a pepper white with black roof..

Maybe u can delete them completely... EU models dont have the flares (thank god). Just order new side bumpers if u want (or if it's worth it)...
