Smoked Front Side Markers - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Saw smoked front side markers on one of the JDM parts site. Any vendors on here selling them?

I've seen some companies that sell a film overlay. I personally prefer to smoke my markers and tails using a small amount of black base coat mixed in with the clear. Unless you have auto body experience I would suggest having a local body shop spray them though.

@Bluebatmobile sells the smoked vinyl for them... easy $10 mod.

has anybody tried red tints? would probably tie in with the taillights and still serve as a reflector. i might try that out sometime.

Not sure how red tint would look on an amber marker. I'd like to see one though.

I just got my set of clears in. I'd assume they would be better to put a smoked overlay on versus the orange lenses. I have a black car, so the smoked look I think would look better. Be patient, I'm sure a company like DEPO will offer clear, smoked, etc. for like $30 a pair.
