Are you kidding me...... They STILL don't have clear side markers? Haha other than that, it seems like a beautiful, and well engineered car!

Excited to see one in person!!

Clear side markers are illegal in the U.S for auto manufactures. Unless the law is changed, they will always be yellow. In Europe however, they use clear side markers, and you can fit them onto your car as a preference.

I don't know about the law you are talking about, but mine came from the dealer with clear side markers. It is one of the thinkgs the dealer in Dallas takes pride in.

IMO the headlights, like in the pic above, from 987II is the closest looking to carrera GT
The new headlights, other than being in dark housing, looks more like Infiniti G35 variants
But with that said, they are really growing on me
