btw there's no JDM look for our car.. 2002.. it's only USDM... sucks...

Cleared mine myself. If u have money and dont wanna go thru the trouble, pay for the clear set. If u do decide to clear it yourself, expect to spend the entire day on it for good results. The only thing u need to pay for are the silicon seal that they sell at OSH or Home Depot or any home improvement store. If done right, it will come out just as good as the clear ones that they sell for 150+.

You don't even need the silicone. heat them up, pull them apart, remove the strip, heat them back up and push them back together. I've done a few sets like this with no leaks.
