Why do some of the 8's in the garage have orange indicator covers and the others have clear (white) covers ?

Is this to do with state laws, etc ? or is it a fasion accessory ?

 

It's a fashion accessory. The car comes with amber covers. People have been buying the clear corners because they look better on the car.

 

It's purely cosmetic for us North Americans. Our wacky laws in general "demand" orange reflectors. Each state/province has their own guide lines on this but I guess the auto makers are lazy and don't want to make "custom" cars for each region ... so they decree "we'll make all North American cars come with orange corners".

 

OK ...

cool .. thanks .. i think the Australian ones come with clear ..

I am getting my 8 in a few days and i pretty sure the one i test drove had clear indicator covers .. i'll need to check .. give you an update in a few days when i get mine ..

can't wait.

 

they are clear, don't worry :D
