Clear rear markers from Klearz...BADASS CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I'll start off by saying Jason is a fucking badass...I've never had better customer service from anyone.
I hit him up a few weeks ago about doing new rear/front markers. I finally pulled the trigger last week and asked if I could have them by Friday so I could install them over the weekend. He said no problem. It turns out the molds he had were on their last legs, so rather than letting me down or making me pay extra for shipping he offered to split expedited shipping so I could still have them on time. THEN when he got done with the first set, he decided they were SLIGHTLY darker than my Photoshop so he stayed up late Wednesday making a new set, so he could overnight them on Thursday morning AT HIS OWN EXPENSE...FROM FUCKING CANADA. Unfortunately FedEx held onto my shit for 5 days in Memphis, but Jason did everything in his power to make sure I got what I wanted, when I wanted it.
Prices will vary, but for a set of rear lenses, rear housings and front lenses it ran me $200 plus shipping. I also bought from him before so I'm sure I got a little consideration, but they're worth every penny and then some. I sent him a Photoshop and he replicated it perfectly. He can do different colors and splits too...if you have a red car and want a red/clear marker so you have no orange on your car, he can do it. Additionally, the slightly darker set of markers he made for me are ready for immediate purchase, so if anyone wants them give him a buzz.
I'm going to do a full write-up on the install and what bulbs to buy/where to buy them when I wrap up, but I wanted to post a pic and let you fucks know that Jason will treat you right if you order from him.
Just so you can see the quality of his work, here is the Photoshop I sent:
Here is a pic of the 2 sets he made:
And the first one in the car:

I'm assuming because you replaced them that you figured out the rubber plug situation in the trunk.
Yeah. Thanks, man.
Dynamat isn't the thickest thing in the world, so I was able to press along the rear panel to find where the plugs were and cut around them. Coulda been worse; I was really dreading that.
Jason is a stand up guy! I can't take credit for his work but I was one contributing part to this mod. I sent him my OEM signals and he made a mold from them and started the clear turn signals from my parts
The only thing I would like to change about the lens itself is the little divided line that shows it's two different housings for the signal and reverse light. Meaning that since it's an all clear lens I'd like to see it be as a "one piece" clear lens instead of broken into two parts, but he said that he just molded it off of what the original was.
The orange on the OE parts never bothered me but I must say the clear look much better.
Once I took the orange off the fronts the rears looked out of place. Here are 2 pics of my old car to show you the difference:

I want to say that the lens is one part, because it was going to cost extra if he did half red and half clear. That was because he'd essentially have to make 2 separate lenses, cut each in half, then affix them to one another. I may be wrong, but I believe these are one piece (provided you get one solid color, like clear).
especially the front ones but I wonder what will happen on inspection. I put clear ones on the front of my old Z06 and had issues with inspection. Once I put colored lights inside I was ok though. I may look into this. I bought GIII / triblk6spds 99 GTS.

Congrats!
I have colored bulbs in each of the housings...chrome LEDs to be exact. The bulbs don't show up in the housing but glow amber when they're on. I have had no problems with inspections.

then sounds like you got it dialed in nice.. I may do that and then get em smoked.

There is a good thread plum started on thevipergarage.com that lists out all the bulb sizes. You'll need a 3157 for the rear signals. Do a search for "chrome amber 3157" and you should find some. I got mine for about $8 shipped online.
If you have a certain look in mind he can help with that. With my first silver/blue, I showed him what I wanted and he told me if I painted my housings and used the lenses he sent me it'd be perfect, and he was right. He knows what he's doing.

He's done quite a few sets of the front markers for guys on here...I hadn't heard of anyone doing a set of rears but I knew he had the capacity to do them. I like these a million times better than the orange ones. It completes the lighting look I have going on (clear/smoked lenses with HIDs/LEDs). It's coming together...

My fault I wrote it wrong. Yes the housing and lens is one part. The area I was referring to is on the clear lens itself.
I'd rather it look the same on the outside so you can't tell there is 2 different sections on the inside for the turn and reverse lights. It would look better if it didn't have the divide line. I'm just picky
