Default what do you guys think of this idea.....

on the usdm crx front bumper the blinkers on the front are in a relatively flat place on the bumper.... if you have blinkers in corner lamps, you coudl probabaly get away with removing the blnkers from the bumper all together.

i have a bunch of carbon fiber laying around, so im thinking it might look cool/neat/different to make 2 small carbonfiber block off plates and rivet them over the empty blinker holes on the usdm front bumper. jsut a piece the same shape as the hole but slightly larger. excuse my crude illustration but it'd look a little something like this....



im going to do it regardless, but or ???

i dont know about all that..i like the bumper blinkers and i dont think the corner light blinkers are enough for other drivers to notice it to be honest ,,this is stupid in my opinion....why downgrade your car?

why not? i have CF, im bored, its different. if your side markers and corner lamps are blinking, the front blinkers arent that important,especially o na car that gets driven a night a week tops.

what if it was a full race trailered track car. would you jstu leave the holes there? you could. or, you could cap em off and it'd look a little cleaner

on a full track car i'd use them for ducting or still rock corner lights myself.

Street car lights are a must.

I think that the CF in the bumper lights would be sthuper if you were Ace and Gary.

Those lights are pretty necessary in letting people know where you are turning.

I've got a better idea for you. If you've got some time, skill, and a bumper you don't mind butchering, buy some wrap around lights (like all the JDM/EDM hype stuff) and cut the bumper to fit those. If you can make that work, that would be cooler. I know all the people here are going to say, "its not just the lights - its the hood, headlights...".
Hey man, poor man's JDM!

i vote for bumper light covers and gas door, putting you TWO steps closer to having a cooler car than ace and gary.

but really, everyone is joking around because it just doesn't make any sense. you gain nothing, you lose functional blinkers, and it looks worse. whatever you decide to do, stay away from anything that can't be easilly undone (rivets).

NO!!! Save the CRX, don't ruin it. I'm sorry if that's offensive, but that's just my opinion.
