did you use a template for your sidemarkers? did you do them yourself or have a shop do it?

and last question did you use gd3 jdm markers or EG or DC?

and here's what I got installed today

I used the dc5 markers, bought off jdmland.com


I had a template that i taped on and cut away. Very nerve-racking cutting into your fender.

I as well used a template for my sidemarkers. I used the jdm clear ones. There is a template on this site, but it wont print true to size. I used a index card and drew it on that. Measure a million times. Taped it to fender and cut out with my dremel. I cut a little small and shaved fender to fit light. Not that scary.


What exhaust did you go with? I dont recognize it

If anyone need the template I'm pretty sure I still have it on my computer in the correct size.

winner! Yeah it's an Aspec ITB, they had the option for just SS or burnt tip and I wanted people to know that I wasn't trying to get away with a spoon knock off.

What attachment did you use for cutting away? the discs or the diamond blue tip thing.

I used the discs. I bought the thin style with quick release fitting from lowes. Comes as a kit. One quick release and five discs. Thin cut discs. Worked great. Take your time, and as i said cut it a little short and shave it in to get a tight fit. Always want to cut more off instead of adding. Good luck to ya. Dont know which would look best on your BOM, but in my opion JDM clear FTW. Only because im a JDM nut. The amber ones are JDM RSX sidemarkers, not fit sidemarkers. Fit in japan is clear. Fit in euro are amber.


Exhaust looks nice. Thats axel back? Or muffler only? Sound clip please>>......

We did a little work on the MR today just to give the front a little more umph! This tow hook was red - but no one makes them in black anymore so my friend Brent powder coated it for me and even drilled the hole in the cover so it would look cleaner. Nice to have a friend who trained at NASCAR U ! He also does hydro-graphics if anyone near WV would like to have something done.

No need, there is a way to reuse the stock bracket and clips and make it lower and to one side. There's a thread on here where everyone shared thier ideas and how much the spent on parts and I beat them all becuase I used all my oem parts and didn't even have to by a bolt. It's very solid
