Blacked side markers

So I decided to give it a try see how they looked. I first put electrical tape on there and drove with it on for like three days Gave me a good idea if I liked it or not. Than I just pulled them out, sanded down with 500 primer and black spray paint. You cant see light through them but oh well, its better than ugmo orange.

hmm. it looks good. but i saw someone dye them with something that provided the same effect without the loss of light and the sanding.

check the diy section.

Looks good on red but it would still give me ugmo dark orange. I drove a good few miles besides a stater yesterday and he looked over a few times but I gave him a good smile. Nothing happened and he went on his way. Maybe if I was a civic with a hat all 'yo yo yo!' like I would have been pulled over. Than maced in the face!

Always bet on black!
