Default black outs

Just a little advice if you are thinking of doing blackouts for your side marker lights. do not order off any of the vendor sites as the front lenses will not fit. I ordered from southern car parts and broke one trying to install per the directions the top edge broke I made contact and sent them pictures they told me to send back. did this and weeks later after I called today was told they have to see what the vendor they purchase from has to say. $69.99 lost as of today.
ordered a set that west coast corvettes they markets with 2 different part numbers base and gs/z06/zr1. these came in with a damaged front so they had the vendor they buy from send 2 front lenses but they are the same as the first set and the second set, $79.95 still out there waiting for refund. they are all shipping from salem ohio and I believe that is rpi design. I have been designing and building tooling for the manufacture of parts for 42 years and it is obvious they have a tooling issue with the front mold.their process is ok because the rear lenses fit perfectly. All the marker lights for all models are the same gm p/n. I just received a set and had black clear tint done at a body shop. Refund process at these online places is terrible so beware.
