Im about to order some side markers, but before I do, I need to know some things: is it a better idea to buy JDM fenders, or is it more practical to just drill the holes myself? Also, if I drill, can somebody tell me the exact location to do so in order for them to be where the JDM ones are? Thanks in advance...

I bought real JDM Stanley Honda ones that go with my car.
I cut the "hole" out and they snap right in. As far as location,i just took a look at some pics and Eyeballed the factory location. I then decided where i wanted them and measured so they would both be at the same place on either side.so from looking at pics,i think mine are pretty close to the factory location. AS long as you are close,and they look even i wouldn't worry too much about the exact "factory" location. |

i actually bought JDM fenders
imo buying fenders, then side markers, then drilling and whatnot would be about the same as if i were just to buy the fenders themselves so thats why i bought mines instead of drillin also i didnt wanna fuck up

yeah but if you put jdm fenders on, you have the thin side moldings, and it wont match up to your other moldings.

and as for your sidemarker question they pop right off if you pinch the sides when you take off your fenders |

Those side moldings are one of the most pointless JDM pieces IMO.
Save yourself the money like i did and DIY!  |
