You can easily see the glow from the turn signal when the blinker is on. I was also worried about that.

Looks very nice. Is that a transparent cf wrap. If so, anywhere I can get my hands on it as well?

I know a few companies that sell transparent wrap, but not a cf style.

Thanks! You can still see the glow from the turn signal when the blinker is on. I got the 3M CF from the god father.

So it is just the Di Noc. I am very familiar, I did my center console in it. looks nice.

Did not think light would shine through it.

Nice job, looks good.
Ask around and see if you can disable wing mirror lights via STAR under the lighting menu. I could turn off my front bumper reflector lights when I got my amber markers painted the body color.

You should do it. It's not hard at all. I spent more time removing the door panel and center console than wrapping all pieces. It only took about an hour to wrap all my interior parts on my SL.

Or people can just wrap the bulbs/blinker with black electric tape and then do the wrap if they can't get access to the SDS.
