Default opinions on the diamond clear corners for camaros

today i did the stupidist thing possible and accidently cracked the one of the lenses of my pacificimportexport clears. im thinking of getting the diamond clears from afterthoughts, but wanted to see some pics and get some opinons on them. are they really worth the $60+? do they leak and get moisture? thanks!

adm, the Diamond Cut clears I have are awesome. They are from a buddy of mine....you can reach him at s10boy88@hotmail.com. Tell him Dave from Hawaii referred ya. They look much more coordinated with the headlights than the older style clears that I replaced. The look when illumintaed is not much different, but in the daytime or w/o the lights on it looks sweet.

Most aftermarket corner lenses have a tendancy to get condensation build-up, but thus far only 2 out of maybe 12 sets I've ordered from Trav had problems. They are manufactured by APC. Drop him a line.

i have the clear corner lenses from afterthoughts (sorry no digital camara) and they really look good. i have both front and rear. i had the ones from RKSports and hated the way they looked. you could not see if the if the lights were on or off during the day. IMO i would go with the CC from Afterthoughts. oh yea one of mine leaks but im pretty sure that if i tighten both of the bulbes that it will go away.

good luck

Guess we know were your nick came from.
Dude, I don't like clear corners on Camaro's
opinions were asked for and I gave mine.
If you like them than go for it.
I saw a Cobra with clear edged brake lights thought it looked silly.
I do like the look of some tricked out imports and I think clears belong on them.
I even have some rice in my barn!!!

By the way your SS looks great.

Thanks Red. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Oh and the SN Diesel was a nickname when I was competitively grappling.....long before Vin Diesel came onto the scene.

RedSS, awesome garage except for that nasty van/suv/wagon thing in the middle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . Haha, I love the Road Runner, I got a 70 Challenger that I'm restoring right now, but I'll be selling it upon completion to get a new SS. If I could keep it I would.
About the clear corners, I think they look good, the diamond clears I haven't seen, but I've liked diamond clears over regs since they came out. I'd get em if I had an SS. Maybe I will when I get that SS.
P.S. if anyone is interested in buying my Challenger or wants to trade for thier SS, shoot me an email, let's make a deal.
