ive searched around and only found amber corners for the 88-89 hatch...will they not bolt on to the 91?

bad pic but im looking for these corners if anybody knows where to pick some up or if the 88-89's fit let me know thanks

 

88-89 corners are different from 90-91 corners. Have you tried ebay? If not, get some clear ones and spray them with stained glass paint.

 

yea ive searched ebay to no avail just 88-89's....i was thinking i might have to end up spraying them

 

They do make amber corners for the 91 civic, they should be on ebay. That's where one of my friends bought his.

 

all thats on there now is clear and stock...guess i will just have to keep searching or spray.

You're right, i don't see them either, that's odd. Well, if you're planning on spraying, i have a few tips to offer:

1) lightly sand, start off with something a little more gritty than 1000, then work up to 2000 if you're patient enough. I think i just used 1000 (it's all i had), and everything work out fine.

2) as always, use really light coats of paint. 2-3 quick sweeps should work well for a single coat. Since it's plastic and slightly curved, anything more and it'll run.

3) let it sit ~4 hours between coats. The longer you allow it to set, the darker it will become. For example, i was in a rush, so i only waited about 30 mins before each coat, with a blow drier directed on the corners. I must have applied 6-7 coats, but the color wasn't TOO dark. But, on my bumper lights, i had the chance to let them sit for several hours between coats, and it was MUCH darker with only a few coats, compared to 6-7 coats on the corners.

4) clear coat it! A few layers of this should keep the corners relatively amber for a while.

 

wow, I do my corners in like 30min....sand with 800 grit, clean with rubbing alcohol or whatever...then paint em out in the sun 2-3 pretty decent coats and bam 30min later they are dry and ready to go back on the car

and mine come out nice and deep orange everytime with this technique

click here for pic...its rather large

 

wow that looks really good....thanks for the tips

 

**** the car!!!! now lets talk about that girl! oh man

 

Which paint spray exactly r u using cuz i want to paint my bumper lights amber so whats the name brand of the paint, and the name of the paint color please thanx. And umm what stores or hardware stores carry them?

 

I used Crown brand stained glass paint from wal-mart

 

I want real plastic ones for my 91, but not e-bay.

Panting them sucks. They always fade on me, and look inconsistent.

 

this is what i did(just use some glass paint)

Ya man, I've done that.. I've been doing it for all last year and the year before. I want to just buy some real ones now though beause people are starting to make them.

 

i got mine off of ebay.. like 27 bux shipped.. ill sell you mine if you want them..

i rather paint mines to make it how ever dark or light of a amber, unless i can get my hands on some real one from i think its vison(what ever the jdm company is) or was it just stanly.......alwell

 

Does anyone know if my 91 hf crx bumper lights that come clear can be fitted wit amber ones from a different make, like the SI one maybe same year or naw?

Nope, they're different?
