I think it might look cool with the side grilles off. Try it and see how it looks and snap a pic for us.....

dbikeman, you have anymore pics of your front end you can send me? I'm re-doing the whole Burtman Industries site soon and need some more pics. It's going to blow you all away.
sure! I'll take some pics today actually. was planning on taking off those side grilles and showing you all for some comments / opinions anyway. I'll email them tonight.

Thanks again, Jason.

Yeah...I put some of the clear corners on our Mica Green 99' 4Runner and it really sets it off. Now if the rear covers would go down in price!

So,what's the obvious diff? I have the "cheapo" ($60 shipped and included the signals) and the only diff I can tell is the "line" pattern toward the fronts of the corners goes up/down versus sideways otherwise pretty much identical.
I guess if you got the $$$ then go JDM but what's funny is USDM stuff is big in Japan;I guess the grass is always greener elsewhere.

As far as I know Jason is the only place for them and I referred some friends to his site cause they are sticklers for authenticity.

oh well yea he had different lines (that did not fit in well with the other lights) but mainly his were a smidge too small, so you could see that it didnt quite match the large headlight.

i think his were well under $60 too

As far as you light bulbs are concerned I would put some chrome covered amber bulbs in the turn signals like these:

and some clear, blue, or yellow bulbs in the corner!

Personally I would keep the metal grates on. Ive always thought brush guards look better with them on. As for the clears, I like the amber bulbs better. Espcially with your non blue head lights. I think it would look odd with white bulbs and the orange-ish look headlights. Even then if you had the silverstars I would say orange. For some reason I think the all blue look is too... for lack of a better word "ricey". Not quite that bad, but trying too hard... idono... hard to explain. Plus, you have SOME excuse when you get pulled...

hahah, point taken.

im just gonna pull the amber bulb and put in the stock one to see what it looks like.. as well as removing the metal grates to see what it looks like.

i too prefer tbrush guards with the grates on, so we'll see...

thanks for your opinions.

Jasons products are awesome. I highly recommend him. Waiting on my second set of clear bumper lenses as we speak.

So far nobody's noticed that my TRD stickers aren't the real thing since the dealers want $104 a pair vs the $20 I paid and I found a better use for my extra $80 I saved.

I have the cheap clears but I do believe Jasons fit better and have a better seal but they still accomplish the same thing;Bling*Bling baby.

Lee, you could also spray paint the orange bulb with silver chrome paint for $2 a can. THey will look silver when off, and still light orange when ON.
