I know this is dumb--don't hate on me too much! how to clear front corners?
 
Hey y'all,

How can I go about clearing my front corners? Where do I get the parts? What do I need?

I'm in definite agreement that the yellows on there are pretty nasty looking.

omg, im sorry dude, before you get murdered by the others, you have to buy them, go on ebay and search for maxima clear corners. make sure they are diamond cut if you don't want any yellow.

I've read somewhere that instead of buying a set of clear corners, you can spray paint them with some sort of "stuff". It's the same stuff that they use to clear out the amber for the '95-'96 taillights.

yea man, its good sh!t, i did it with mine, and they turned out great

josehernandez94 Dec 22, 2004 11:53 PM

Yeah, that's the problem... I looked on Ebay (and pretty much everywhere else that I could think of for that matter) and they only had the diamond clear corners for 89-94 Maxs. Any other recommended places where I could get some?

ChristheNite Dec 23, 2004 12:39 AM

all you have to do is soak the stockers overnight in terpentine or heavy duty paint stripper and out comes the amber. ALSO try it with the taillights to get the red/clear look that everyone on here loves.

hey man, from one newbie to another....just like Akumachan said....customenterprise.com

I got mine from there and they fit like a glove. 15 min to do entire job. If you change the bulbs and put hyper-white ones in remember to keep the turn signal amber, white is illegal I believe. Customenterprise also has Polarg bulbs which are pretty inexpensive and look good.

Good luck.

First, Luxor, they are not illegal to have white turn signals. Check the 2005 Statute Handbook. Secondly, the installation won't take you more than 3 min, well.... nm....

ok, seeing as how i posted in here first and tried to be nice...

EBAY has hundreds of auctions for 95-99 Diamond Cut Clear Corners as Mendon99 has pointed out.

Secondly, yea, soak the ambers in muratic acid (pool stuff) overnight and cover it with tin foil in the morning. Let them sit for about 30-45 seconds.

Umm, don't buy them from Custom Maxima for $44 when you can get them for $20 from EBAY.

Let me know how the acid thigns turns out for you. I know a lot of people who did it.

That's right. Clearcoat. Don't use too much, though, or you'll be looking into the engine bay.

Kinger402 Dec 23, 2004 03:16 PM

you have to soak them in turpentine to get the amber color out tho dont u? b4 spraying them with the krylon clear coat am i correct?

No. The turpentine method makes the crappy foggy kind. The clearcoat makes diamond cut clear corners.

NissanSE98 Dec 23, 2004 03:27 PM

...how about you just take the plastic corner out and duct tape the light bulbs to the bumper......

Ant96GLE Dec 23, 2004 03:42 PM

RA030726 Dec 23, 2004 04:11 PM

Ant96GLE Dec 23, 2004 04:16 PM

lilaclucymaxima Dec 23, 2004 05:58 PM

Kinger402 Dec 23, 2004 06:24 PM

Anyone have any experience with these?
http://www.procarparts.com/store-det...=onlinestoreDB

Are they POS or a good deal?

Black Maxima Dec 23, 2004 06:33 PM

I got my clear corner signals (1996) from procarparts on eBay. Like 30 bucks shipped.

Kinger402 Dec 23, 2004 06:35 PM

did you like them? Were they quality? and really dimond cut. Cause they seem to be the cheapest around for the corners/bumpers
