Thanks! I like it. I just wish you didn't have orange in your fenders... Get on that.

It doesn't bug me and they're there for safety, I see no reason to replace them a clear marker that doesn't reflect...especially ones that cost $130. Unless I'm missing something?

Yeah, it has never bothered me either. Definitely not worth the cost of replacing them.

You can keep the amber bulbs, but every other country has clear markers, so it's obviously not THAT important for safety. If that orange marker makes all the difference between your car avoiding and accident or not... the astronomical chances of that are seemingly astounding and damn near mind-boggling.

Stop making excuses and get 'er done, son.

I was ALMOST going to go there! But decided not to... haha

If it's down to money and you're really not THAT tempted to change up for the greater good of aesthetics, I will donate money to get you clear side markers, BUT... you have to make a build thread here AND on NASIOC. Deal? PM me your email to PayPal, son. Let's get you on the good foot.

I already started one on NASIOC!

Looks good @GregV. Diffuser under the exhaust gives it a little extra aggressiveness, I'll have to look into that if Nameless doesn't build me a diffuser soon!
