I was watching Unique Whips on Speed the other night and almost feel out of my chair when I saw them rattle canning various parts on a customer's car!

You just gave me the idea to do that to my car now. Thanks!
Most shops would spray your side markers using the color code off your car.

Side markers look great. The only thing "ghetto" about your German cruise missile are those wheels.

19'' tires cost more than 20''s because less of them are made & sold.

That is not a bad idea, blast a coat on there. My car is metallic black and the paint matches really well. So I am not going to CC it.
There will no hint of light if you paint the sides well and I mean the little strip where the plastic reflector hits the backing of the part. Otherwise there is no light at all. I had factory painted lights from an aftermarket company on my C32 and they were silver. I had a lot of GLOW come through on those, but not from the sides, just from the light shining through the body of the marker. I have NO glow with my super awesome VTS ones and I hit the sides with a sharpie and took out the light leaks.
