Your opinions on my side markers?

Post by Mx3Baker »

I dont know what to do im going with the black and red theme so i was thinking i should buy the black side markers off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-96-MA ... enameZWDVW" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
or if tinting them will be thesam effect? Im going to do body work and paint my car soon so i didnt know if i should shave the side makers and keep the front turn signals? it would be more like the CORK SPORT MS Style Front Nose or Jspec front bumper

I blacked out all my lights, except headlights. Sorry this is the only picture. they all look the same, though, and I really like it.

The lights are still highly visible.

I say use the clear signals and markers up front because your headlights are clear... PLEASE don't black out your headlights either!

now if you do a civic projection conversion then I could see smoked signals and markers up front... as far as the rear I keep the stock red ones in... just my opinion :shrug:

I just did 2 passes with some blackout paint in a spray can made for this purpose.. I got it at an Japanese import aftermarket store. I can take a picture of the front, if you want.

I would say clear or stock. All that black on a black car kinda takes away from the car's natural lines, there is no accent.

IMO

Oh. I thought it was a black car, too. I'd like to change my vote to clear. Or a light spray of red. I like the smooth look.
