Where can you find REAL front clears?

I've seen a couple people have em before, one person said their body shop ordered em. I'm not talking about regular cloudy clears, or diamond clears. These ones are absolutely clear, almost like our headlights. Here is a picture of what i'm talking about, sorry its REAL small, only one i've got but you can tell the difference.

Real clear corners

I got them and they leak and fog up pretty bad !!!
they only look pretty good when dry , and it is a major PITA to keep them dry , used silicone and bunch of other crap to seal them with no succes . Just like everything else that APC sells - low quality junk.
don't waste your money.

www.ecarboutique.com sells the too for around $60

another APC crappy product

those crappy APC's are sure not worth the $60 plus shipping , instead get two sets of clears from ebay.

Sorry about the PM, Nick. I didn't realize you were same one until after I pmed you. Thanks for the help and advice though. Are the ones that you were talking about from ebay diamond cut clears, or just regular ones like yours?

I think I will go with the clears from redlinemax. They are cheap, they do not leak (at least not that I know of), they are almost as clear as nick's.
