Default Just put in my ctr side markers!

I think they turned out great. I used the metal nibblers from radio shack.

How did you decide on the placement of the sidemarker? did you measure?

Nice, I'm thinking about doing it myself, what size hole did you have to drill?

Jackson4Door: What I did was line up the middle of the marker with the end of the side molding, and lined up the bottom of the side marker with the top of the wheel well. I just looked at a pic of a ctr and tried to make it as close as possible.

Airon: Metal nibblers is just a tool that you start with a 3/8 inch hole, then you put the tip of the nibblers in and you can can a nice hole in metal. It also works for like plastic and stuff too. You get them from radio shack. Iv'e seen a lot of people on here that use them.

Thanks for the comments! I really don't have any pics of my car that are up-to-date nor worth posting. I'll take some when I wash it. I got the sidemarkers from www.passwordjdm.com by the way.

looks real good! how do you prevent any rust from the newly exposed metal? did you use touch-up paint?

I hope you wired them up correctly so that they only turn on and blink when you signal. I don't really fancy the way people wire them so they stay on all the time. Oh well, I guess it just comes down to whatever tickles yours. Your fancy that is...

is there a way to wire them up so that you can keep them on when you turn on the parking/head lights and then blink also when you turn the signals on???
