Default Should I put sidemarkers on my R?

I got a set of JDM amber markers from the one's made by Stanley.

Do you think it'll look right on the USDM front?

I think it will b/c it matches with the bumper lights.

any opinions or pics to help me decide???

your car do what you want. This board may not approve, but hell its about what makes you happy. i think sidemarkers are fine as long as they're amber and not that nasty blue or "plasma white" or whatever.

If you decide to do it, make sure you place it in the correct location.

There's nothing funkier than a set of sidemarkers placed too far up/down/left/right. It just looks odd & unprofessional.

IT LOOKS TACKY on a North American ITR.

Only do it if you're doing a whole JDM conversion.

Like someone said, "it is your car, do whatever you like" but, if you install them make sure that they will be "functional". I mean, wire them with your blinkers, not with the parking lights Otherwise it will look ghetto-rice-low-life...

Do what you want. I think it would look fine as long as you wire it up to your blinkers.

if they dont blink, you might as well install a set of lighted washer nozzles...

If I do, there is no way I would have them on all the time.

I just want them to work with the signal light for a little extra security when I'm shifting in and out, out and in, of the lanes on the hwy so the slow *** drivers know I'm cuttin' through.

Thanks for the input guys.

I'll be making my decision tommorrow morning when I take my car to the shop to get my OEM bodykit painted and installed.

Those drivers won't see you if you had landing lights on there. YOU watch those drivers!

I was gunna say yes, but when I saw them on this I don't really like the way it looks. It just kinda seems plopped on. Maybe if they were clear... or maybe if his turn signals were amber. Just my opinion. If you like em, go for it.
