My car came stock with regards to power mods so I doubt I have a aftermarket ECU, but my car isn't limited to 180km/h.

how does this fat blinkers look like?

a few RAWs fit Mitsubishi ones (like my car) and i just swapped then with clear 380 ones for <$30 a pair including lens, bulb and bulb holder. (honda charges $30 for a single lens only, rip off).

depends on the shape of the hole. if the hole is already bigger than Honda's then u'll need to weld up and paint = big $$$

foggies are useless anyway.

visors are good if u open the window often but it creates a huge blind spot.

actually i perfer to have side blinkers on my car as i drive in peak traffic often and i'd like ppl to see me when i change lane.

bling bling factor for me sometimes, I understand having side indicators will be useful in peak hour traffic.

16-02-2010, 01:52 PM
Philip Lee

^ another problem, the rear seems to be able to fit wider wheels/less +ve offset wheels than at the front.

also if u run camber kits, i guess u can always make it fit lol.

i think 8" + 35 - 38 would be good depending on camber, so maybe u want to run 15 - 20mm spacer.

however i'm not a fan of spacer. best advice is to get good sized wheels instead.

i bought a set of mugen mf10 17 x 8 by 55 brand new i did have much choice of offset as they were the last set and they dont make them any more .....
i have them on my car for about a year know but after putting tein mono flex coilover the inside of the rim hits the shock tower in the rear.

u can run aftermarket kits. my fd's car is running aftermarket on OEM housing.

however, make sure u get all the caps as u'll have to buy from Japan if they're missing. CL9 etc all have different sizes and won't fit.

i prefer not to have side indicators for look but i want them for safety.

i guess ones mounted on mirrors like CL9 (and UK FL) would be perfect.

Pull out your indicators and measure how big the hole is and compare to the size of an indicator you like (dc5/s2k/dc2/etc). If your hole is smaller then you can fit it easily and i'm sure IMG would be happy to chop up your fender to fit them.
