clear lenses are stock S5 lenses... i dont think you can interchange S4 and S5 lenses though... so either get a S5 bumper or dont worry about it.

i have no clue where you would get the side markers, but i also have no clue why you would want them... spend your money on something else to make it go faster!

clear tail lights??? i saw a thread on here not too long ago with pics of that, and it looks hideous!!

stop trying to rice out your cars dammit!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH WHITE FC3S WITH CLEAR LIGHTS ALL AROUND AND THE POWER TO SMOKE MOST OF THE V8'S. I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS" RACING OUT" AND I AM SURE MOST OF THE PEOPLE WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.

They cost 1/2 as much at 7wishes, but are always on intergalactic back-order.

It took almost 6mo. for corksport to restock-better get them now if you want 'em.

Are we that lazy now?
I got my clear front lenses for $3.
They weren't 100% perfect, but, they worked.

Clear lenses

Yeah, something's wrong with that picture.

They do dress the car up and make it look more modern, IMO

I went to a place called Imperial Glass. They cut two pieces to match the rectanglular dimensions of the front turn signals for $2.65.
I had to grind one side down a little bit and drill the holes.
