Be honest with yourself please. Are you truly putting sidemarkers on your car because you're concerned about safety? Or are you putting sidemarkers on your cars for aesthetics and to be different? Please be honest. I see you have "JDM Junkie" in your sig. Is putting sidemarkers on making you more JDM because Japanese IS's come with them from the factory. Please be honest.

The majority of cars on the road in the US don't have sidemarkers because our traffic patterns are much different than you see in Japan. How many USDM cars have sidemarkers?

Like I said, To Each His Own. Do what you like. Just remember, you're cutting metal. Be careful.
I don't understand whats 'rice' have to do with it? If your IS didn't come with a spoiler and you put one on after you buy the car is that considered 'rice'? I think 'rice' belong more in a bowl than in this thread.

Beamers have side markers, scion tcs have them on their mirrors, and so do benzs' so why can't we put them on our cars?

In my mind, the talk of sidemarkers conjures up visions of Accords, Civics and Integras with $5 sidemarkers that are often crooked, installed incorrectly and look like assmonkey.



If OEM sidemarkers are used on the IS to emulate our JDM siblings, I guess it isn't so bad.

Me though, I'm trying to shave EVERYTHING. I hate extraneous crap on my car.
