    Smoked Side Markers/Corner

    Does anyone here have a picture of smoked side markers they can post up here?

    I have a black car but don't know if I want them painted the body color. Think I rather have them smoked
    Thanks

    Re: Smoked Side Markers/Corner

    I've got it done on my Spider.




    I have the tail lights done too.



    I did 2 coats all around. If I were to do it again, I'd do 3 coats on the front side markers, and leave the tail and rear side markers at 2 coats (for braking/safety reasons). The red does well with 2 coats, the yellow fronts should really be 3, otherwise it shows a little more yellow hue than I'd like personally when the sun hits it which you can see a little bit in the 2nd picture.

    Sweet car you have there! Not seen pics of it before. Looks really brutal. What's the reason for the red "logo" on the back?

    Don't know about the rear, but I know the front sidemarkers actually light up. Did you take out the bulbs or does light emit from the sidemarker?
