These are NOT the same as CM 'smoked'

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-96...99487763QQrdZ1

But Im scared of what they look like in person, afraid they'll look too glossy

Has anyone seen these?

You are incorrect sir. I bought mine from CM when they had the g/b and they look exactly the same. Even came with the orange bulbs. I like them off my car. I havent installed them yet, waiting to get some smoked cefiros to go with them.

The CM ones are not smoked. Those are just regular clears. The ones I got from CM have the black housing and clear lens just like the ones from ebay. They are pretty glossy looking in person too, but not anymore than the dc clears. Its probably just lighting differences when the pictures were taken.

Check that against the stock amber ones. It is probably the same since those are probably made from an exact mold from the stock set.
