Here in Canada you pretty much have to special order tires with raised white lettering. So few people want them anymore, most tire shops don't stock them.

I was thinking of buying a marker and do the same as you. They look good, so I'll give'em a try. Thanks.

I have another question, is regarding the headlights. I need to replace the old headlights, and I'm thinking of buying the DEPO Euro Style headlights, are they a good buy or I should stay with the OEM?

Unless you're planning to add HIDs. Also, with aftermarket headlines you often have to seal them up good when you first get them or they'll probably start to take in moisture and fog up.

As a matter of fact I got HIDs installed. Still, should I stick to OEM then?

If you have a 5000k or 6000k kit it might be be a courtesy to other drivers to reduce the light output. If they are 10000k + stick with OEM.
