In person ( mounted on the car) nobody realized the lettering, but if you go and stick your face to it it's going to show obiuvsly

That is what matters.

My auto-ocd would drive me crazy. lol.

It's all good man.

I had color matched sidemarkers on my previous car. Made a world of difference. Sucks that the sidemarkers on this car can't be shaved completely.

IND does this idea in the BMW circles for the M5 and such. Great idea if done correctly.

The only bad part about our side marker is that it tends to pop out occasionally, especially if messed with. Those little metal tabs aren't secured on very well. Just a bad overall design and placement on Toyota's part.

Hardly hating. If you take it that way, you should reconsider posting stuff on the internet that people will voice their opinion on.

At the end of the day, it's your car and if you're happy with the way the sidemarkers look, that's all that matters.

If it was my car, I would feel like that job was done only halfway, or half-ass because the raised numbers/letters weren't sanded down.

I had color matched sidemarkers on my previous car and made sure I did the same.

Take it for what it's worth.

Good day, sir.

Man you guys are ****s. He offered his polite opinion, OP and slicvic, you guys need to chill.

On topic:

How do you plan on filling the antenna hole without vinyl or welding a piece up there?

do you mind showing more pics of the sidemarkers? i'm actually very impressed with this. perhaps some farther away shots and just different angles?

can you provide me information on how to follow your steps with the sidemarkers?

lol, yeah. I didn't think I was being a **** about it at all actually.

Post your car on the internet.
People point out something about said car that can clearly be improved on.
Call them haters.

It's not even something subjective at this point.

The fact is that raised numbers/letters on a sidemarker that were left unsanded before paint show a lack of prep before paint. Not sure how anyone can argue that.

To each his own and all bro, but note to self about what not to do to these cars... slamming them without at least a wide-body kit. Not that it looks bad per se, just... odd.

On topic though: the sidemarkers look really great. Nice flow.
