Take note of the arrow. Need advice on what to do, if anything, to the orange side markers and red ones in the back. Should I get clear ones? Keep them as is .. or something else? Lemme know :)
I am picking up some clear repeaters tomorrow for the turn signal on the fender (I dont know why they are called repeaters? I went in there and the guy was like what the hell is a repeater...). Anyhow, I appreciate any input.

I think that if you are getting clear repeaters, you should clear everything else up front but leave the red in the back.

I would shave the front side marker and just use the corner light as a blinker.

yeah i agree with swonder. shaving the front bumper marker would make the car look much better. don't clear them out then it would be honda-like.

a few ways actually, if you have cash, yuou can find a company that makes em, then buy em. or, if you are somewhat of an engineer, you can take off the orange piece, then cut out a pice the same size out of that stuff they use as flourecent light covers. It's hard to cut it without cracking it though.

Instead of shaving them, I went to Sherwin Williams and had my paint color matched. Took the can home, wet sanded the lenses a bit, sprayed the paint, then a layer of clear coat. Looks cleaner, but not as good as shaved. Just a bit more cost and time efficient.

I did that for about a month, then a motorcycle officer pulled me over and asked me if I knew I wasn't supposed to have them up front. Of course, I lied and told him the car came like that and that I would change it ASAP. I guess the only colors you can have up front, legally, white/yellow and orange. He was cool and didn't give me an $80 equipment violation, but said someone else might. Personally, I wouldn't risk running with red.

Swonder, I highly doubt that any company makes it for the G20s.
If anyone knows of any company that sells clear side markers PLEASE PLEASE & PLEASE let me know. Cheers~

I've seen em for the P10. THey do it custom. the same way I explained in a thread above. but the thing is, you have to send em your sidemarkers, and it costs somethingl ike 80 bucks.

Thanks for the advice guys.
I will most likely shave them, like D did.
After I shave them and get a digicam, I'll show the results of it :).

good choice!! It shouldnt be more than 200-250 bucks.. its well worth it though

Man if it costs 200-300, You can get a stillen bumper for that price and it will cover them up. Just unplug the lights and tape the wiring. But I see you have the wings west lip...?

Yep, I have the WW lip.
I plan to get a bodykit possibly next year, so that will be the demise of the sidemarkers. Either I shave the side markers now or just wait it out. :)

I agree Go to Infinti and order the red sidemarker and put it on the front inplace of the orange. Red bulbs in your tail signal indicators and red bulbs in your front signal indicator.
I am from the GTA(Greater Toronto Area for you non- Canadians eh! ;) )and have spent the last two years looking for a '99 p11 T but it is impossible! You are a lucky one

AGINCOURT INFINITI NISSAN
[1871 McCowan Rd] - Scarborough, ONT.
I go there often and I usually see G20's there .. I was lucky to find a red G20t. The thing is, after I bought mine, there was another red one waiting :). But I guess now with the new 2002's, it will be even harder to find a G20t. You might want to drop in there and ask.
Agincourt Infiniti/Nissan (http://www.agincourtnissan.com/)
They have another store that might be of help to you at Morning Side (directions on the page).
Right now, I'll shave the sidemarkers most likely. If I don't, then I will get the red for the front. Shave Shave Shave!
