Side markers, forget it.

Front blinkers maybe from the Swedes if they can figure out how to make them right. Will probably take a couple more months so see if that works.

I seriously doubt you saw clear side markers for a North American turbo. But if you did, let us know as quite a few guys would like them if they are not a piece of crap.

I dont know about the side markers but you can get some nicer looking tail light lenses that deletes the yellow turn signal. They are listed at <a href="http://www.toysforyourtoys.com." target="_blank">www.toysforyourtoys.com.</a>
Really nice upgrade for your porsche

Colored rear tail light assembly is an old topic. All you need is some transparent DupliColor if you are in Europe or Testors in North America.

Looks like that is what they are also doing since they charge for a core. I 'dunno, $129 or $169 seems sort of expensive to scuff up and spray a tail lens.

But if you can get away with it, what the heck. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Hey IceShark, I know for a fact that the swedes have clear sidemarkers for a US front. I currently have an order with them.

BGuy, For the thin long slanted sidemarkers forward of the front wheel? Show me!

I know there are versions for the NA style bumper on the side off the little bumperette.

The man you need to talk to is Joakim Jansson. The lights are currently on back order though.

I would definately buy black (or clear and spray with my own testors paint) sidemarkers for a 951, someone go make them.

Currently they are looking for a new company which can produce these items for them.

Our Finnish/American (hello Dan/Iceshark) group order is on hold for some months i suppose

I have one pair of these clear 951 front blinker lenses. Haven't installed them so far, but my lenses are actually quite good! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Hey, Olli, I didn't know they were making the clear sidemarker lens. What do you do? Saw off the old lens and glue it onto the housing? You would also have to spray the old housing chrome/silver since it is a cream colored plastic which would look sort of crummy.

How much does it cost? If reasonable, add that to my buy list - the fronts only.

The front of a turbo in all clear would look pretty sharp on my black car.
