Decisions , EL door handles?

Postby Zaneyxr6 » March 13th, 2012, 10:03 pm

Hey guys just want your opinions should I put EL door handles on my ED XR6, and also should I leave side indicators in the guards or delete them all together ?

Personally I prefer the stock handles as they match the shape of the car well. I had ideas to do some sort of custom job for the side indicators (my EA didn't have them at all) but might be easier to hit them with tint spray and call it a day. They are a safety feature so I wouldn't remove them except maybe for an unregistered show car.

Id leave them ED shape. As for indicators, get EA moulds and delete them altogether. Much cleaner look.

leave it all how it is, standard always looks best :), I dont think that the EF/EL handles & mirrors agree with the lines of EA-ED

I have already got the EL MIRRORS, and el fuel door is goin on as well, I think I'm keeping indicators but I'm using fg ones and I'm going to recess the mould over them so the indicator will go on the guard.
