Default Opnions on side markers for my car: Clean or not? 1994 DB8

Quite simply.. I'm at a turning point in my car. I'm in the process of prepping it for paint. I'm shaving all the emblems and removing the side side moldings (keeping my wing, I like it)

Would adding the side markers defeat the purpose of trying to make my car look clean.. Or is this kinda a function over form type thing, since I'd actually wire them correctly (blink, not always on).

Couple of pics of where I am right now...



Thoughts?

I've been here long enough to have seen plenty of threads, asking an opinion and you always had your Captain Obvious's, sayin just that.. Thus why it's an option

I would do it and just for the record there is no correct way to have side markers wired whether they just blink or blink and contiunously on. Not tryn to bash you but you sound like a JDM bandboy, we are in America i.e. we should have our own swagger

No offense taken. I agree with that, Americans shoudl do their own thing.. But look at cars that have them factory here.. How many stay on all the time vs how many are off until the blinker is on?

Makes more sense to me for them to blink.

Yep, I am. May seem kinda lame, but I saw this pic and fell in love with the car. It made me get Red GT3's.



That will be my car, except I'll keep my wing. I think the rear deck looks too big without a wing to break it up. Plus it flows nicely with the car.

I'd totally rock the sidemarkers, I love mine. Gives a unique look and best of all they're super functional (when you wire them right).

you be the judge if they look nice or not.

or go UKDM.

Nice build by the way.



Not mines, will take down upon the owner's request.

Also, look at this picture, notice how the JDM-front car only has it.

I'd go with no sidemarkers...looks a bit cleaner IMO.

Yeah, go without em.

If everything is getting shaved off, might as well.
