Would sidemarkers look out of place on the GE8.

:sigh: I've already paid for a set of amber RSX sidemarkers w harnesses. The more I look at my Fit the more I think that the markers won't look right. It also appears that none of the Fits in any of the markets have sidemarkers. I should have put that money towards the mirror covers with integrated blinkers.

I've been kinda toying with the idea of getting the "bump" on top of the headlights, which i think is the parking light to function as a blinker. Seems like it would be an improvement. I have not taken a serious look at it yet tho. any thoughts?

i kinda like the smooth line of the GE8 without the markers.

it looks good on the GD's...maybe you can sell them to someone?

If you look down under to Australia, all 3 models have side markers.
Not bad, it's all in what you like.

i personally don't like them.

i think they even look out of place on the gd3.

sidemarkers are an old school honda thing (imo, i know the jdm dc5 had em.)

i think getting the mirrors with embeded turn signals is more 'jdm, back to proper form' or whatever.

I personally like the mirrors with the embedded turn signals.
