Gauging Interest: LED Side Fender Garnish Lamp - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Is this something you would put in your car?

will come with the whole fender trim and it will be painted to match your body color

just gauging interest on these

if i see demand, these can be made

let me know what you think

It looks like it sticks out quite a bit.. If it was a really clean flush look, it may be one of those things that I would like to see on someone else's car, but not mine lol

I think it would be cool if the piece that already sticks out where the chrome fender garnish usually goes lit up, that would be neat.

The idea is fantastic. This exact implementation doesn't look great. Maybe a few other concepts?

Why not keep the fake vent and make the raised bar in the middle a light? It's already the same general size and shape as some LED sidemarkers, so you could just tweak the enclosure. I'd buy them in a heartbeat if they were under $200 and available in amber LEDs (clear housing). BRZ turn signals have terrible side visibility, being inboard of the headlights and inboard of the tail lights. Definitely need side repeaters.

+1 to that!

I am shocked that no one has come up with a garnish that looks like the one on the M3. The BRZ is so close already, just need a little bit of tweaking.

Yes, not cheap, but it's helped a lot with my underhood temps after some time with a dremel.

It's Going To Be A Tough Choice Between These And Carbon Fiber Vents... If Only You Guys Added A Carbon Fiber Option On These *Cough Cough Cough Cough Cough*

Interested but would like some rendering before committing.

I want a turn signal repeater to replace the black plastic "vent" in the FRS fender trim.
