Any suggestions? I want to do red clears on the tails, clear headlights and smoke corner lens. Nothing really good on eBay. Your thoughts?
Be patient and watch the forum for sale ads. something will come along sooner or later. you have to watch closely though because the good deals go fast.

I got my clear headlights (Bosch) online but not ebay, I bought the clear side markers new from Pelican, and I think I got my clear tail lights from someone here. The hunt is all part of the fun.

You might want to re-think the drilled rotors - they tend to crack from the holes outward, they are more prone to squealing, they are more expensive, and they will provide no discernible benefit on a street car.
