I finally just said to hell with it im going to do it.... im going to get clearside markers... well as we all know the VW ones didnt work :mad: . So I made my own way..and no its not ghetto. Ok gt people; first you gotta order youself the black trim with no spot for the sidemarkers then you have to match up the current hole on the old trim with the new trim. Last you have to buy the verna clear side markers and make sure you cut the trim so the little clip is snug and bam you have clearside markers. :D check out the pics below

what you describe can basically be done with ANY sidemarker! lol!
i want to see pics without the bra to know if it looks even half decent sticking out like that

lol true but no one to what i know did this ... maybe they have but all i know is it works out pretty good

yeah maybe, but i would be concerned about the way the sidemarkers fit, if they sit flush or not, etc.
on a side note, where did you get the sidemarkerless trim?
also, pics without the bra please, we have to see what it looks like.

Yeah, I'm more interested in how you got the XD molding without the sidemarkers. Nobody wanted to ship it from Korea. And US dealers shouldn't have it?!? What's up?
Looks good though.

wait so those are KDM spec molding with out the lens??? why would you cut them to fit lenses in there???
txdproject
04-21-2006, 12:12 AM
yes that kdm spec mold without the lens but and i choose those since those sidemarkers are the closest thing to the gt's in style... its the clear verna ones from kspec... well kspec sells them. Anyway i like that everything was pretty much plug and play... nothing like that VW sidemarkers where everything didnt fit.

any close up pics, i'd like to see the detail because far away they can look great but when it comes to show and being rated detail is everything for me.

Does that fit flush? its hard to tell since you took an upward picture and with your shadow its hard to see :( if so I would be interested as well

txd if u can get a GB going for the KDM moldings you will make a lot of people happy, and will make yourself some good rep in order to sell those headlights of yours ;)

They sit flush, you can tell in the first few pictures.

what do you guys think???? oh and i put white 194 led lights in them. looks after market at night without the ricey blue color... hehe kind of matches my hid lights... since Led lights that are white always seem to have slight hint of purple.

well it obviously isnt flush.
have you ever taken your sidemarker out? it sits is a GROOVE, like there are 2 levels for the trim.
logically, if he cut the trim, then the sidemarker has like 1/4" sticking out
if not, then good. though the picture doesnt show it.

So what.. It looks good and its flush enough to me.
Do you have pictures of them on at night?

The XD2 molding is available from DreamKa4u. The XD molding which is one piece, is not.

yup SuperGlS is right about that... dream is sold out of the xd molding however thats why i went to the dealer and they were able to special order it for me thanks to my friend "rich" at the dealership so im sure for all those xd people and xd 2 people we could get a GB going on and that would probley lower the price a good amount ... but i cant say yet.. I need to know how many gt s are intrested from 01-06 just let me know if your intrested and ill start a list and talk to the dealer

04-22-2006, 02:56 PM
im going to see if i can get the dealership to get both the molding and sidemarkers.... talk to my friend rich today about it and him seems very willing to support this idea of a group buy... he said that if we could get atleast 10 people the price would be 50 flat and then i would charge 7 dollars for shipping anywhere..

VA inspection laws suck, here in NY you dont need them.

Dont even get me started with KDMbit*h.. We had that blow out a few months ago because he said he DIDNT ship large items like that and thats why he ignored my PM's for months because I wanted the korean spec molding, but I had no clue he didnt ship large items like that untill he for once responded to my post and PM's.

Its all good man, you dont need to say sorry. If I can get the molding from this guy then im gonna go for it, I just hope we can get a group buy going and if we cant maybe he can get it for the few people who want it.
I dont understand how this dealership sells the korean molding in the US.

04-24-2006, 01:07 PM
50 bucks for molding just seems high....and that would be the group buy price?

04-24-2006, 01:12 PM
