Cleared Corners
 
When you clear your corners, do you also take out the orange reflectors on the trunk piece??

IMO, it would look better with all the orange removed. It's a real pain, but it can be done. I did it on mine. Just take your time and prepare to give your Bonne lot's of patience.

yes do all the orange

Well i only had a little bit of time today, but i did the fronts. I do really like that look much better, esp. since i have a silver car i think it really looks nice. I will try to be patient with the trunk then, doesnt look fun w/all that silicone.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but the only way to clear the rear lights is with a dremel. The lights are all sealed... way different than the front lights. Be very careful.

Either do that, or try to find some GXP tails and trunk piece at a U-pull it yard or your local junker. Much easier IMO.

it is a pain in the ass to do the rears, you have to cut open the lenses, then break the pieces apart with a screwdriver or pliers to get them out. If i was to do it again, i would just buy the GXP lights, but its a considerable invesment

This may help. It really was'nt that bad, one tool to add to the list of required is a vacume cleaner or can of air to either suck out all the black plastic pieces or blow them out.

Wow, yeah, looks much more involved. Thank you very much guys!
