sounds good dude. looking forward to seeing some pics.

i should be meeting up with the guy who has the other set of clears tomorrow so whenever you get around to it just send me the pics. let me know if you need my email address.

 

Got a write up for those smoked rears?

 

soon danielson soon.

not bad dude. but IMO the clears would look better.

 

damnit there was a group deal for smoked corners and i missed it. Any chance there will be another soon???

If anyone wants to get rid of their stock or clear fronts pm me.

 

the smoked corners were for 5/5.5 gens only.

 

Ya i need a set for my 03'

 

oh, sorry. the 4th gen in your sig threw me off. they should be coming out with the rears sometime in june and the same guys that got the fronts will probably start up another GD for those. at which time you can call customenterprise.com and see if they'll include the fronts in the GD.

 

Any news yet on when the rears might be out?

 

I'll try to find out Monday. I was just thinking the samething last night. My lighting fiasco will be complete when these come in.

 

I don' think smoked corners look good on lighter maxes. I feel that when you do something like that, the colors chould "compliment" eachother. Like the clear tails on sterling mist and white maxes and black tail lights on black and midnight blue maxes. You shouldn't clash the colors

 

yeah, i agree...only works sometimes...like a carbon fiber hood on white, with gunmetal rims...

 

Here's a picture of homemade smoked markers. IMO, they look better than clear.

 

those do look pretty sweet. got any closeup shots?

 

I'll take some close up shots sometime today.

 

I like it.....I LIKE ET ALOUT

 

thanks. i was thinking of tinting mine with a light coat of sterling mist paint. not sure how that would turn out though.

 

Yeah any word on the rears?

 

Here's a closer shot

 

i just smoke out out my side markers with night shades, and with the black rims i put on i think they look great

 

Update on Rear Smoked SM

Spoke with Jose at CE, Greg is out sick with some type of summer flu. Jose, said they are not in yet and for me to call back tomorrow when Greg is in to get a time frame.

 

those don't really looked smoked at all. just very slight. what did you use?

 

Depending on what angle you look at it, it looks darker. I didn't smoke it really dark like I did with my tail lights. I just used a can of Night Shade.

 

hey for the m4 polar bulb how bright is that blub? and would it be legal if i had my corners white??

 

Any chance you got an update from Greg? Thanks for the help man.

 

love them on blk cars

 

Haven't gotten an update yet as far as eta. Some other guy that I spoke to said that they weren't in yet. Greg has a more definate date, but he hasn't responded yet. I'll try to get ahold of him again.

 

hey the m4 bulbs, how bright are those lights??

 

not sure how they are in the smoked sides but here's a pic of them in my clears. they're a little less bright in real life.

 

will there be a GD when the rear smoke lens come out?

 

i'm sure the same people that were in on the first GD will try to get one going again. you may even be able to get custom enterprise to include the fronts in the second GD.

 

yeah im eagerly awaiting the rears as im sure many others are too!

 

A distinction needs to be made between the "kind-of smoked" CM sidemarkers and the darker smoked ones that you make yourself. They don't look anything like each other....

 

the clear (white) corners are illegal no matter WHAT bulb you put in them. To be legal, sidemarker lights must REFLECT orange in the front and red in the back, in addition to the bulb illumination. Clear corners don't reflect red/orange, so they're illegal everywhere.

 

Keep in mind this is for NC only. Some inspection "Know It All" said I wouldn't pass inspection because my lights emitted a white light and not orange. I told him to bring his manual out, then I told him to go and take the certification class again, when I pointed this out. The rule of thumb is your bulb cannot be blue or any color other than clear or orange. That's what they make chrome bulbs for.
