Default Clear Corner Vendor Recommendations?

Anyone recommend any clear corners from a specific vendor? More so looking for someone that was over all happy with their purchase and didnt have problems with their kit. Is there different looks from venders on the clear lens?
The car in question is for a 00' Camaro.

I have been searching online with no such luck. Looking for a set for the front and the rear.

Thanks for the help.

afterthoughtsauto.com is the only sponsor that i know of that sells them... beyond them there is always ebay (procarparts and others). Just be sure to seal the edges with clear silicon before you install them because they all seem to be prone to leaking if you dont.

Thanks yall. I was trying to avoid ebay. To many bad times has that gone wrong for me.

Ill leave it open for a last resort. If sealed right do you still recommend or is there any need for the drilling / venting?

thanks again

I have the RKSports. They are not Clear like most aftermarkets, they have the same texture to them as the OEMs. I also bypassed the daytime running lights to get rid of the source of most leaking. Too much heat from the lights constantly being on accually warped the housings.

Got mine from RKSport as well. No issues. I had the ebay ones but after installing them I didn't like that you could see the bulb. Resold those and got the textured ones from RK.

I have the Rksport ones also. They look OEM and are clear. But as mentioned already..the housing gets warped/cracked due to heat of the bulb.

You said you are trying to avoid ebay but I bought front and rear clears for my 97 from the user makotoautotrends and didn't have any problems with the transaction or products, good price too. Might be worth looking into.
