Question Clear corners

I know this has been discussed numerous times. So flame away.

I have found 3 different ones so far:
1) autodynamic
2) importvision
3) F1sports/ebay

Who here has experience with all of the above if possible. Are they all sourced from the same aftermarket manufacturer? Do they all exhibit the fitment challenge that autodynamic ones do; one side fitting better than the other side; mods required as identified thru on this forum?
Who on here bought what and then replaced with an other because of fitment, etc?
And no, I'm interested in staying legal. Therefore painted ones or Euro strips are not a consideration.

Thanx

P.S.
Are there others that fit better out there?

Come on, Ali. He said he didn't want the painted over ones. They are not legal in his state, or mine.

Andy, I have the autodynamics... You just have to add material to the pinch prongs at the back to make them pinch closer to the body. I superglued some .070" strips of Evergreen plastic to the prongs and it took up the slack just fine.

I have the F1sports/ebay ones and I have the same fitment problems on the driver's side. I wrapped the pinch prong in some double sided tape to make it pinch closer to the body... easiest fix I could think of. I wouldn't be surprised if all of these came from the same molds in Taiwan.

Hey, give him a break. He's probably preoccupied with his bra.
