    jdm stuff/clear corners leaking :-(

    i have a 97 protege lx

    ok i know corksport sells all the jdm clear corners, headlights, and taillights, but is there any other place you can get the stuff cheaper.... besides ebay


    also what can i do about my clear corners the damn things keep getting water in em..... any kind a molding or anything?

    i would say ebay would be your best bet. saw an auction on a pair of JDM taillights for about $100 only. i say only cuz if you look at corksport they sell it for $250. with regards to your problem in water getting into your corners. try buying silicone, the same one's we use for aquariums. apply it on the gap where the housing and clear or amber plastic meet. hope this helps.

          i got my gauges off ebay. they are for a protege 5 check em out
          my page

          it requires very simple mod of the housing thinggy. all you do is snip a lil piece of plastic out of the way of the cord. at least thats what i had to do

          the protege5 has the same instrument cluster except the tach is on the right and it has a low fuel light(which sucks our cars dont ) it fits fine

          EDIT there is a diffrence in the dx and lx gauges i think. i know there are two styles i will tell you for a fact that the LX style W/tach is close to the protege5 only backwards(which all you do is swap the inserts)

          I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                  especially when you break your fuel needle and are too damn cheap to buy another.
