Any good Amber-gone solutions?

Hi, has anyone found an effective way to cover/remove the amber corner and achieve the clear "Euro" look?

The amber reflectors really kill the front look of our cars =(

I'm also looking into getting rid of the ambers. I can't believe there are so few options!

I agree. I personally went with the Vitex Ambergones as a stop gap, but now am starting to like the LS1 option as I see more pics.

I agree. It seems to be a dealbreaker for many. If I do end up going the LS1 route, I will time it with business travel.
