As far as we know, this was the first red with clear corners (at least not do-it-yourself ones) as of October 27, when the job was done at the Fall Colors meet

James, you do those yourself? I didn't think I would like the clear lights on the red but it actually looks pretty damn nice.

I just finished clearing mine tonight. Man, what a pain in the ass, but it was worth it. Right now the lights are being clamped down letting the new sealant dry. I don't want to take any chances in letting water in. It took me a total of about 5 and a half hours but that included a trip to wal mart and late night dinner at Whataburger.
1 hour for removing the bumper and headlights(first time for this)
1 hour to seperate headlights and remove amber lense
1 hour to seal headlights back and clamp them together

That damn black glue sealant is evil, pure evil. Seperating the headlight was the hardest part.
I also had a chance to dremel out the left fake grill where the filter is for my AEM intake and part of the underpanel to get more air to it. But, I'm glad I did it and that its over. I will put it all back together tomorrow and post some pictures.

The Euro Spec housings were installed by Nick Alban (an actual Acura Tech in Baltimore) as a demonstration event at our Fall Colors Meet.
Slewpy, Those are the stainless silver coastal metals grills. Here are a few head on shots with both yellow corners and then clear.

Hopefully GS will notice that I am using small pictures

ReedZ - looks great!
We Upstaters are going to have to get together in the Spring.
Encourage those you already know to use the Upstate Region forum.
I'm working hard to bring us together.
I bet your glad (unless you like to ski) you don't live in Buffalo!
