I think what he meant was he's learned new things about clear side markers and blinkers from this thread. He's an OP(original poster).

I have a lot of paint flaking on both bumpers, but just gonna get the entire car reprayed cheaply sometime. Also need to line everything up perfectly in the front.

I removed and installed bumpers myself and saved some money on the labor. I only paid for paint and labor for the spray. Man... front bumper was not easy to remove cuz space was so tight. A foot long extension is a must. No matter what, do not paint body parts while they are on the car.

Been a while since I've removed a USDM bumper, but don't remember it being that tight. Give me something to do this fall/winter.

Oh! I forgot. It's because of air box on driver's side. If you already removed it then no problem. If you still have it, you need a foot long extension.

Ah, I still have it on this one, just removed the lower part. But can also remove it just for this task.

Yup! 2-3 bolts are holding it.

Then I'll go ahead and install my future CAI before taking the bumper off and driving it down to Maaco

A whole repaint with rattle cans? I could, but I think it'd look really awkward without the gloss of a clearcoat.

You can clearcoat the rattle can job... sheesh, do we need to spell out everything for you?

Alternatively, you can just roller the whole car with Brightside... I'm going to do that someday.

Yes I am only 18, just out of high school, working on my first car, and was never all that into cars before I bought mine last year. Can I easily obtain the stuff needed to clearcoat it on my own? Although I suppose if I took the bumper off, rattlecanned, then took it to the body shop for just a clearcoat it'd be much cheaper than the 275 to do everything.

I'm really tempted to buy that touch up pen to see if it'd work. It is only 20 bucks, and there are other areas on the car in which that'd be useful.

Try the pen first. Your flaking looks bad enough that it might not last too long, though. I got a similar pen (duplicolor or something, not Nissan) at an auto parts store for $6.

If it doesn't work, we can probably walk you through a rattlecan DIY job. You can get everything you need at an auto parts store.

They're Canadian Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). Courtesy Nissan sells them (http://www.courtesynissan.com), you can also find them used on forum classifieds and Ebay, or Dexter can walk across the Canadian border and pick you up a pair.
