Post by: thai-wronghorse on 16 July 2012, 21:42: I looked at those Cult Society ones years ago but again, quite expensive. As are their hidden boot lock plinths, cool though.

I'm not a fan of US side markers really plus that doesn't get rid of the holes in the wing as I wouldn't want indicators there as well as on the wing mirrors directly above.

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 16 July 2012, 22:05: I have late oval side repeaters and putting badges there instead seems to defeat the object of removing them in the first place, its supposed to look cleaner.
