Is there such things that would fit USDM bumpers? I know they have them for JDM bumpers but not sure if they are the same size as the USDM ones. I just hate how the bumper turn signals are foggy looking and look very cheasy and old.

you can use model paint to paint them. tamiya has a nice paint thats perfect for doing this. the color is called clear orange, and its in a real small glass jar. two nice even coats of this stuff and the shade is perfect. i would also recommend two nice coats of some duplicolor clear once the orange paint settles. i say this because i had mine painted for over a year, and over time the orange paint starts to fade (very slowly). clearing over the orange will prevent this. i just recently repainted my lenses. oh yeah, best of all, the paint is less than $3.

I guess painting them would be my best option. Do you have a picture of your lenses??

i cant post any up on here, but look in the ka section in the thread titled 'post up your ka powered ride'. i think i posted on the 4th or 5th page. there should be some pics of them in there. in person, you cant even tell theyre painted. it looks as if i bought them like that. ive had people on here tell me they thought i had a jdm bumper because of the amber lenses and also because i cut out the center and side openings.

So where could you pick up a set of real jdm amber front turn signals from? I've searched google I don't know how many times, but can't seem to find a site that stocks these.

the real amber ones dont fit the US bumper, their a differnt size... however the JDM bumper is beautiful, it has the amber lenses that lay non-resessed into the bumper and amber markers on the side that have a lil fin on them...

I too was contimplating painting my markers orange, but after cracking my bumper and lip... i really dont care. im trying to find the real jdm aero myself

Yeah, I know. But I need the JDM lenses to fit up with the Bomex front bumper I plan on getting. Haven't had much luck finding a set online though...
