like many others ive been lookin around for the cleared out side markers..i found one place that custom made a set for someone but it looked like a piece of trash and it came out to 250 bucks. other than that i havent had any luck until a few days ago...I saw a black gs400 with the cleared out side markers!..i tried to pull out as much info as I could from him in the short amount of time we talked..(we were both in a hurry to get somewhere, so I didnt get to talk to him long). But from what he said, he got the cleared out side markers for the accord and put them on his gs. He said with some research those are basically the only ones that fit the gs. I think he also had to do a tiny amount of custom work with a screw or something..but it looked pretty nice..It just had too much padding between the bumper and the side maker. This made the side marker stick out a little more than normal..but im thinking we could just use thinner padding between it and it should come out perfect. Im really busy for the next few weeks, so im not able to do more research on this at the moment, but I thought Id hook you all up with the info I know so far...and please dont go ordering the accord cleared out side markers thinking it will snap right in and everything will be fine..Because Im not 100% sure about this..check out all the info b4 you do any purchasing..

i've heard about this a few months ago... sorry fierce! I haven't talked about this on the forum because alot of others know about this too.

Biggest problem, the marker won't snap. It'll require you to open up the hole on the bumper bigger so it'll fit. I wouldn't do that. And plus, it looks different anyways. It's alot longer.

And it's from an Accord.
