I got a chance to install clear side markers today. The pic isn't the best but I think they turned out really well.

I was thinking about doing that. Looks good

I'd like to know if the side markers are an oem fitted. I heard that after market side markers usually aren't as perfect as oem.

I think the JDM ones are clear. This is really a must-have for this color... the orange looks out of place.

I got the JDMs with Amber bulbs. I'll take some pictures with the lights on and off when I get a chance, but I'm very happy with the results. With the side marker lit up the orange looks just like the stock light.

No affiliation but here's where I got mine from.

I believe the JDMs are an OEM fit. I heard not-so-good things about the Helix side markers so I went with the more expensive option.

For the install, getting the orange side marker out was a pain until I figured it out (I had to use a lot more force than I thought) and installing the driver's side marker was a pain (the passenger side popped right in but I had to mess with the clip on the driver's side, took about 20 minutes to get that side in)

The JDM clears fit just fine. However, sidemarkers for the BRZ are difficult to remove, so there's a chance of bending the clips on install/uninstall that can make them not fit 100%.

Hey everyone. just joined. I had a 2012 civic si prior to this. did a lot to it. it was supercharged making 350hp at the wheels. just got bored of it. had it for about 4 years.

test drove the BRZ and immediately loved it. the build quality is lightyears ahead of the civic. and the handling and driving is a joy. its definitely slow. but not sure if ill go turbo or supercharger eventually.

already ordered the Tom's tails. since i absolutely hate the stock tails. they remind of something a 16 year old would buy for his 91 accord on ebay.

have a Perrin tow hook license plate holder i need to install. luckily i stopped the dealer from drilling holes in my bumper.

next thing i want to get is the diode dynamics always on module. so the boomerangs stay on as DRLs. love that look.

I think I want 57DR's. Traffic cone orange 57DR's.

Hurry up @KrisisOD, I want to see your wheels.

I'm trying but it's been raining non stop and I just decided what tire size to order today, and haven't figured out which brand to buy. I asked the forums but no one replied, I guess it was a too asked question, or too basic.

I am leaning towards V12s, as they've got good reviews and they're about $40 cheaper a tire than PSS's are.

Edited to say I got my taillights in today and as soon as it's not raining I'll install 'em.

Luftwaffel · 12-08-2015, 01:20 AM

The V12 is a good street tire. Size is mostly preference too. I know I'll be going with 255/35's on a 9.5" wheel, which is pretty big. The lights look good, they're almost clear but the blue should help them blend in a bit.
