You can buy them from Tim @ hondacuraworld.com

As per the announcement in the performance section, your thread has been as well moved to the main section.

Depo's are cheaper than OEM markers, and they look fine IMHO. I almost like them better cus they have a crystalline smoked lens (instead of the fresnal-like OEM lens) so they're brighter.

they look better if you can get them to fit. did you manage to get it to sit flush with the body?

Yea they did fine. I was dissapointed at first cus I didn't think they'd be flush, but you have to push extremely hard to get the clips in.

My left front marker didn't quite fit after I got it in all the way cus I warped the plastic while pushing (could see stress marks on the back), but I stuck a bit of 3M automotive on and it's fine now.

As long as we're on about Depo fitment, my Depo tails fit fine too, it just took some adjusting. Those posters who tighten everything up and are dissapointed w/the fitment just need to spend a bit more time fine tuning them.

^workd for me, neways If it's the tails you're talking about, there's quite a bit of play in the lower bracket before the screws are tightened. You can also stick lock washers between the lights and the mounting holes if need be.

Say, do you have that XLR8 exhaust in? I've been wondering about its sound quality but too lazy to search

i've got the front and rear sidemarkers. haven't bothered trying to mash em in after the first try. the back end flares out and im not sure if its the foam padding or the actual plastic of the sidemarker that isn't fitting properly.

and i'm pretty low on the catback list so i dont expect to get mine for a few weeks but once it's installed i'll be sure to post videos
