Very nice. Mine is going in next week to have the rear bumper repaired. I'm having clear side markers installed at the same time. BTW, where did you get your clear corners?

When I bought the originals, of which one was smashed in the wreck, they were all over that auction site but I had a heck of a time finding replacements. I finally found a set at Corvette Guys and it was the last set of clears they had. Anyone need a left side clear corner.......
