Default Mission Impossible; getting USDM corners in The Netherlands

Dear Honda-technicians...

I live in The Netherlands and i am a big Honda enthusiast. I drive a nice EDM EG. I personally don't like the Amber corners, and the clear ones make my car look to gray. The orange is too bright, and the clear corners are too boring. Difficult choice eh?

But it is a helluva pain in the *** to get these things over here, the USDM corners. Nobody wants to ship them, or asks ridiciously high prices for them. I have seen some replacement corners (replica's) on some sites who ship to my country, but i would rather have some OEM's.

Is anybody willing to help? Here in Europe we are tripping over EDM/JDM EG6 clear corners, but not a single USDM corner is to be found here. Just saying, you guys could make a lot of money with trading them.

So, does anybody know how to get them in my country, or is willing to sell (and ship!!) them for a nice price? Or knows a shop that ships them overseas?

thanks in advance, hope you guys can be the big help that i need

(sorry for my english!)

Greetings, Tim.

It's pretty difficult finding them in the US because these cars are really old and the majority of the ones we see on the roads have been modified and no longer have them.

Not where I live. You'll think you have died and gone to heaven.

I seem to recall somebody staining their lenses a certain color. You might look into that. Could be a cheap/easy solution.

If there's a bunch of Civics on the road where you live, I'll think I died and went to hell. I'd prefer not to cruise around streets that are polluted with a bunch of stinkin Civics. I'm fortunate enough to live in a place where the car thieves have cleaned up the streets.

Well, perhaps the comment is more appropriate for someone who actually likes the Civic.

On second thought, you might still actually be happy because I was referencing the Civics that are in the junkyards ... lots of them in there (so, they're now off the road) ... parts are cheap .... and plenty are bone stock, with a surprising number of which have OEM optional accessories.

Well impossible to find it is not, however to find a decent minty set is impossible.

I would be intressed in a set for eg hatch too.

Could set up a trade for EDM parts if anyone seeks them.
