I really like my new side markers. How do you guys think it looks?

You can click the attachment, then click the picture when it opens to make it bigger. If it's still to small i'll have to just download them to my computer again to fix it.

Thank you, I would go out and take a closer picture for you but it's dark now. They look the same lit up.. just has an amber glow. I liked how they matched my headlights.

Much easier to see now. The side markers look good.

Just an idea, one I had when my navi antenna was on the outside of my car. Get a touch up bottle of paint from your dealer and paint the antenna. I was about to do this with mine but when I replaced my double din HU I had the installer put the antenna under the dash.

I like both mods. The clear markers look really good on a WWP, and I'm liking the gas lid as well.

You can also move the antenna for the satellite to the rear baby seat anchor, works just as good.

I'm not feeling the satin gas door and I cannot see the side markers very well but they look like they are the rotary FX ones that are clear and will eventually leak.

I like the side markers, but not sure on the gas cap. Too 'off colored'.

Yeah they're rotary fx ones, I thought about them leaking when I pulled them out of the box. But they had some type of glue that went around them. If they do leak I can't complain I guess. Beggars can't be choosers. As far as off colored goes, it looks a lot better in person. I think the satin goes good with the pearl when it starts getting dark. I keep all my stock parts so if I do have problems I can always put them back on.

As long as you like it that's all that matters and if it looks better in person, even better.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I dont care for clear markers. I would rather stick with (free) Amber OEM and know that they're the quality product. I think it is a color dependant thing though. Amber looks good on WWP or NG, but it looks terrible on VR or LY cars.

Again, I'm likely in the minority.

I can respect that, I agree on the quality product part.
