What's up guys.

Got my clear markers but i decided to get them painted the same color as my car because i prefered that look over the clear markers!

i think it turned out really nice!













Got my carbon Fibre trunk spoiler this morning.
So it will be installed tonight and i'll have some pictures for you by tomorrow morning or even tonight!

enjoy !

what kind of paint did you use? I'm thinking of doing this with my extra OEM sidemarker and switch from that to the clear depending on when I get bored.

Looks nice. Was this a DIY? Can you still see the lights come through when lit, or is all light completely blocked off?

i dont know what kind of paint aha.
I went to a place and gave them the code and told them what it was for.

i bought half a litre of paint just incase i need to touch up or do any little things to my car.

but its pretty much regular car paint?
my dad's classic car restoration place did it for me.

The install was a DIY, but not the painting.

It was pretty simple. I followed Derspeeds DIY but it was missing an important step and he said that the little pins come off with the tip of your fingernail really easily.

for me it wasn't the case.

i used a little thin screwdriver to get the pin out a little bit, then i snagged it out with plyers. It wouldnt budge just by hand!

it was pretty easy tho. took me about 10 mins each side!

Sooooooooooon... I'll have clears too. I kinda like the orange though. Kinda. I'm just switching because everyone else is doing it, and I wanna be part of the cool crowd. If you guys jump, I'll probably jump too.

I'll put the clears on when I get em, and then decide which one I like better: clear or orange.

The painted side markers look like little doors that will open to reveal machine gun barrells like James Bond.
