Where can i find a euro impact strip and how much is it?!?!

Also, guys if thats too much $$$$... I want your honest opinions:

My car is silver with dark tints all around and I am putting black wheels on it with a polished lip. So the theme is silver/black. I am thinking about getting smoked sidemarkers to keep that color theme going but wanna know if that would be too much contrast on the silver in that little area where the sidemarkers go. I feel that would be a lil ricerish, but still wanna know your opinion. ill probably tint my tail lights later also.

so.. Brilliant Silver w203, Black wheels/polished lip, Dark tints, Prolly tinted tails later. so,,,,
SMOKED or CLEAR side markers?!?!?!?!

If your going to be tinting your tails and getting black wheels you should just get the smoked instead of the clear....

imo:

Euro impact strips > Color matched markers > clear (w/ clear bulbs) + smoked > stock amber

Clear and smoked could easily swap positions on that list :P
