Smoked side markers...

[B2ThaZiZza]

Ive seen a couple of beemers on the forums that have smoke colored side markers, can those be bought or is there an alternative like painting them with glass paint or whatever?

Yes and Yes ;)

Or use smoked Lamin-x. www.lamin-x.com

Would Lamin-x look alright for smoking tails, too?

i used window tint on my sidemarkers and turn signals, and it came out perfect. the winter has made them look horrible, but i'll just re-apply in the spring. its really cheap and gave me the perfect look i wanted.

What I did on mine was used that old article to make clear side markers using a clear reflector. Then I removed the bulbs in the side markers, and spray painted the INSIDE of the new clear lenses solid black. This way, it won't chip or fade, and it still have a very nice glossy OEM look. You pretty much can't see them anymore though, they blend in very nicely.

After one winter and into the second now, my Lamin-x hasn't moved/faded at all. I'd suggest using it as a more permanent solution.
