I know EvoSport does, but to pay $23 to ship it is insane. Im not paying 14% in shipping charges...

Did my own for about 30 bucks and a couple hours of time.

Bought my paint code in a spray bottle from expresspaint.com, used some 600grit to sand down the gloss amber and remove the US DOT code/imprint, tape everything on the back off, 3 medium coats of paint, 3 light coats of clear and finished.

I also painted my lights with some VHT so it wouldn't shine through as much. Looks wonderful, nothing like doing something yourself at a fraction of the cost.

I'm in the market for side markers as well. $23 for shipping--WTF? Interested in hearing where else to buy unless EvoSport will kindly pass shipping along at cost.
