I purchased a pair of factory Volkswagen sidemarkers from a junk yard... and im wondering what your opinions are on putting them on my accord..?? I'd wire them so they work with the turn signals only, I wouldnt want them on all the time with the parking lights... I dont think.

BOTH my front fenders need to be replaced now (hit a deer with the left, broken ball joint jammed the wheel into the right fender) so I guess I can put them in these fenders to see if I like them... then if I do, I can swap them to the new fenders when I get them.
If I dont like them, then i'll just leave them out of the new fenders.

What are your thoughts?? are they too ricey?? I thought if I got ones that fit well... flush to the body panel, they'd look ok... instead of the cheapie ones.

 

Eh, to each his own. Personally I don't think it's worth the effort and I think it'd ruin the lines. But if you like 'em, go for it. Shouldn't involve too much fabrication.

 

I mo have to 2nd that opinion

 

i'm with fanatic....but its good that ur replacing those fenders....i would at least try them out...u dont have anything to loose!

the VW ones are applied to a stamped recessed fender. I dont think it will look good on the accord....

But mine are JAYDEEMZ YO! Straight up japanese stanley amber

 

what are thoZE YO?? :chuckles:

i dont see the reason for sidemarkers...just dont need them, and they dont make the car look any better..their so small..but thats IMO anyway foo!

Its a hard chocie to make, cause once you do surgery to the fender there's no turning back....

make sure its what you want

 

I just got a set of Volvo S40 sidemarkers and will be mounting them into the molding on the fenders so it won't mess with the lines of the car. they will be recessed about 1/2"

 

That sounds sweet...I'd like to see the end result.

 

i like the Volvo ones too. i went GEEdEeEmZ y0! amber BMW E46 330Ci
