The front and rear side marker light delete panels where can i get them? NOTA944 was supposed to PM with the info, but hasnt yet.

Rob x-7 03-03-2003 09:29 AM

hmm, never heard of them actually, why you taking them off?

They dont weight nothing as far as weight savings go, and

taking them off for a street car would be illegal.

amp 03-03-2003 09:45 AM

frenchin these certainly is aesthetically pleasin imho..

but would negate it quickly for safety concerns..

thats a nice t2 fc i want it gimme gimmme

Rob x-7 03-03-2003 10:51 AM

I guess you would just have to find a source for the new moldings.

It does look nice like that, but you wouldnt pass inspection, and maybe

cops would bother you too?



You could put small ones in the fender to comply with the law, I think that car

has them over the TURBO II decals.

j9fd3s 03-03-2003 10:54 AM

the non us cars have no holes for the lights and mouldings without the holes for the lights.

Whiz, Whiz, Whiz always impatient!!!!! Your inner ricer is showing through.



First lesson of BANZAI:



When you turn the key and the car runs, you can begin to contemplate Aethestic Mods. Side Marker delete trim will not make your car run better. Neither will: PINK STRIPES, ALTEZZA's, JAMICAN FLAG DECALS, Layed backed Getto seats, Home DEpot Grill Guards, Run DMC CD's or any of the other ricer paraphilnalia I have witnessed in your possesion.

What wrong with RUN DMC?

banzaitoyota 03-03-2003 01:54 PM

Nothing 10 years ago

WHIZ 03-03-2003 04:29 PM

Banzai, Im trying to get a list of distributers for them. Not trying to count my chickens before they hatch, more trying to find where to get the roost they will live in. I guess thier not called side marker deletes, im finding out now from more research before i posted this that they are European spc side moldings.

my_jdm_rx7 03-03-2003 04:43 PM

I have a question......why the **** would anyone THINK that not having sidemarkers is ILLEGAL?? Most cars dont even have them....why would getting rid of them hinder you from passing inspection??? That is just retarded. If they aren't there...they are there, they don't do anything anyway.... Oh no!! I don't have a reflector on the side of my car...damn https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

every car since 1968 has side makers, its a federal law

Geoffman72 03-03-2003 04:50 PM

Thats getting a little too passionate about side markers isnt it?

j9fd3s 03-03-2003 05:13 PM

yeah, i dont really see the need for em

Because it is a law, a federal law. And they do something. They light up when you turn your lights on, and they blink when you with your turn signals.

They arent just reflectors, what in gods name gave you the impression they are just reflectors?

my_jdm_rx7 03-03-2003 07:04 PM

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png HA.......surely not everycar has sidemarkers since 68'.......surely? I see cars that don't have them...and No, mine do not work..I have never seen an FC that did...I have seen a lot of FC's that didn't actually if I think about it..maybe I have seen one with them ON...but never blink....oh god..I think I am having a stroke.....no, no, I just feel like a doush.

Rob x-7 03-03-2003 07:05 PM

Nope, every car has them.

Rob x-7 03-03-2003 07:12 PM

let me save you the trouble of searching for pics of cars without side lights

and clarify that if the car doesnt have side marker lights, the front and rear lights must be visable when looking at the car from the side.

Obviously the design of the tailights and front lights on a RX-7 do not meet this

requirement.

FCmaniac 03-03-2003 07:20 PM

thats right, the sidemarker doesnt have to be in front of the door, it could be attached to the headlight housing like most cars with one piece headlights or the wrap around bumper lights... I'm talking about the blinker lights visible from the side of the car

banzaitoyota 03-03-2003 07:38 PM

Ralf has them WHIZ

Surely you can get the part numbers?



What we need is someone in Japan or Australia to give us some insight on this.

j9fd3s 03-03-2003 08:37 PM

i'll vote for #2

serpent12 03-03-2003 09:43 PM

is exactly you want...

part number for European spec side modlings for the nose and tail that dont have side marker lights!

banzaitoyota 03-04-2003 09:29 AM

Ralf has them!

can you get body side moldings that have no marker lights in them?

j9fd3s 03-04-2003 05:21 PM

the other way to do it, rob. its to cut the stock ones, they are multi piece



mike

Rob x-7 03-04-2003 05:26 PM

how do you mean cut the stock ones? You mean cut a longer one to fit? You wouldnt get the correct ends on them by cutting them, you would have chopped ends that arent finished, but I guess at quick glance it will look right, not good enough for me though, lol.

well the ends are bonded on, so you can remove the ends and splice in a longer section, it would be tricky to do though.



mike

Rob x-7 03-04-2003 06:02 PM

I could do that easily actually, considering I would just paint the moldings anyhow. Now If I could get someone to send me thier old S4 door moldings to do this from!
