I bought these
So I didn't realize a size difference, but I can tell you I bought these for my 2011 and I really like them. The fit is good, they work great and look very nice.

Lookin good @Caskieatl

Taking my car to the shop next week and will throw up some pics once it's all done. Will also be throwing on some new rims, adding tint (driver/pass), blacking out all badging and front grille.

Finally had a chance to take some pics. Will try to take some with the 5D when I get a chance to give the car justice (looks much better in person). Work done:
- Wrapped side reflectors (signal light visible through wrap)
- Blacked out all badging and grille
- 22"x11" Vossen VFS1's (painted in Satin Bronze from VFS2's)
- 305-40-22 Nitto NT420S
- 50% tint driver/pass

I'll take some close ups later today.

They wrapped the outside of the reflector. Honestly it does not look good when just looking at the reflector. In my mind its a temporary solution until I find a smoked reflector that fits.

i know a guy that just had his done. the shop painted the inside of the side reflectors, top signal markers and the tail lights.

turned out pretty good.

Yes. Not sure how it's done. I'll have to ask about the process.

Thought the hood signal markers looked the best the best out of the three (side, hood, tail lights) he had done.

.
the 2015+ LED side markers don't come apart like the older versions to be able to paint the inside... they're sealed units
