Wade covers or GTS brand?

hey everyone, I now own the e36 headlights with wade covers, and was wondering if the wade covers make it flush, or should i invest in the gts brand covers?

Input? I just want it to look flush.

both are the same thing and both will make it flush. I like the Wade because they seem a little flatter compared to the GTS. Look on my 93 site for the E36s with the GTS covers and CraigBs site for the Wade covers.

But the wades look like they go all the way around the corner lights too, what's the deal with that? won't that look a little...goofy?

Well i didn't trim my wade covers. That was a real head ache. Everyone one else cuts off the corner.

You mean trim off the wade cover where it starts on the corner, or take off the cover to the corner and use the full wade cover?

do it either way you want to. I cut the GTS corner off, Craig did the same (with his Wade covers). Therealgoon didnt cut his covers off...instead he took his covers off of his corners and sealed the Wade covers to the corners.

Here are mine cut off. (that pic is before the euro corners)When you get them you will see how hard it would be for them to stay on without cutting them, which is why im shocked at how well the realgoon9's came out. unless you've done it you dont know how much work is really involved.
