Not sure why you wanted to change those amber side markers so fast. They look fine on my car.

I got the side markers for free from a friend who got the smoked ones instead. I haven't installed them yet since I'm still on the fence about how I feel about the amber

LOL I was joking! Get those damned things off there.

They do look fine on mine but that is the only colour they look good on!

Haha i like the contrast of the amber! Then again I know nothing about how colors work together so I'm probably just stupid

Be ok if there was a whole theme thing going on but when it is just a spot on each side it is distracting.

It looks good on your colour, because that's the only colour you can't really see them on...

Clear on white and silver. Smoked on everything else. People need to check their local laws to make sure they don't need an amber bulb though.

Smoked looked pretty good on mine (white)... Spent $3 for a roll of vinyl and made the cut outs myself (not perfect, but good enough)

Ended up putting the clear side markers on. Pics of those/Perrin exhaust to come!

Opticoat appointment scheduled for Wednesday!

Speaking of smoked, I'd love a set, but I've heard the Helix ones have pretty bad water issues. Know of any that don't have this issue, or a way to reliably prevent any leakage/fogging?

To OP, lovely car, you're making the wait for mine much harder! Can't wait to see how some of these mods turn out!

You're gonna love the exhaust and Opticoat. Best investment on the Opticoat! I look forward to seeing your slow build.

I'll keep you guys updated on the water issue, its supposed to rain next weekend. I'm don't think it'll be a problem, when I was installing the new side markers there was a white grommet/gasket type thing that looked like it sealed the housing for the LED.

Thank you! I couldn't stop smiling all weekend, this car is a dream come true for me
