So who's making the cleanest and best fitting red/clear tails these days for 97-99?
I had a really nice set but one was dropped and broken by a body shop when I was having some work done... I can't even remember who made them but I know theres some cheap ones out there so Im trying to figure out who makes the best ones out right now... any help? thanks ...

i think everything that is available now is through ebay (probably all from the same one or two taiwanese manufacturers). i've heard of fitment issues and have personally had issues with 1 of the ebay sellers (atomicstreet).

I got a set from c.e. back in the day when they were still a respectable company to deal with. It would seem that purchaseing these products is a lot like purchasing a set of Nike shoes. One manufacturer, but many sellers. They are all going to be the same.
Fitment is fine, and the outer (new) lens almost matches the inners. If your that concerned, look for a set of the smoked ones as they will replace all 4 lens. On the other hand, if your looking for a 95/6 set, I have heard that the fitment of those is crappy.
95/6 set is a diamond cut design. Some members like them and some don't. What ever.

This is the reason to miss CE - despite the bad deals described by some org members, they always treated me well - 2 sets of red/clears, 2002 AE shift ****, diamond clear corners and bulbs.
All the more reason to continue supporting vendors that deliver those goodies that target our little car niche - cattman, for example.

This is the same guy I bought my red/clear tails from:

Can't believe how cheap these things are now...I paid a little over $100 when I got mine.

thats a horrible photoshop they have in their link lol. 97 red/clears on a 95 with horrendous fitment. The red/clears I have had fitment issues on the outter right, but I have no idea who they were from. I'd go with this link though, its a fair price. I think it's just the outters if that matters to you.

my complaint with making them myself was that the outers (becuase of the pyramid pattern acryllic i used) is now DARKER than the inners. i searched long and hard and couldnt find the proper type of clear acryllic. basically you need a piece of thick clear acryllic with vertical ribs to create the grid pattern you find on the OEM inners
can i just do the same thing i did with my outers to my inners to make them match? anyone ever done this?
