These are smoked side markers from customenterprise.com. I just wanted to know what you guys thought of them ON MY COLORED CAR. My car is sterling mist so I'm not sure how they'd look. It doesn't look like they carry them for the rears which is OK because I was going to leave my rears red anyway if I got the clears.

They look good. I think those sides would look sweet on the dark colored max's. Light colored ones look better with the clear sides in my opinion .

when they are smoked, do you still see its respective bulb color ie if there was a red or yellow bulb in it?

depends on how dark you make them. the custom enterprise you should be able to see through. and other's i've looked at you can see through.

i think i'm going to order these. i belive they'll match my silver car nicely.

I smoked the OEM amber and red corners. I still have the clear OEM bulbs in them. They shine the correct colors alebit a bit less bright.

those are nice. I think if you match them up with AE or blacked out housings, it will look good. When I did my ooglies, I painted the whole housing black. It looks darker than the clears and has the black trim around it.

i was hoping to see them on someone else's car with a similar color before i got mine. i don't know if i'd do both fronts and rears but atleast fronts. i'm hesitant to spend the money because i'm not sure how they'd look on my lighter car. that plus i just spent money on a FSTB and AE pedals.

I take it the polarg M4's are white bulbs? Does anyone have pics of these bulbs on stock lights? Just curious how much brighter they are?

yeah they're the blue bulbs that light up white. i wonder what those would look like in the stock red/organge housing.

Been wanting to get these since they came out, but really not too thrilled about paying 44 bucks for this. Maybe some sort of GD could be made. Humm, let me see what I can stir up.

yeah i want to get them but i'm not sure how they'd look so i'm definitely not too thrilled about paying full price. i'd be interested in a GD if the price was right. keep me posted.

yeah and they look amazing on their black cars. but mine is sterling mist so that would be way too dark. even one coat would be dark IMO. i think these are great. i don't like the clears because they're too boring but these are nice.

I'm sure they sell lighter shades of tint... Irish and I were thinking of doing a blue tint on my clears to match my car, but we haven't gotten around to doing anything like that just yet...

Anyways, if ya really like those... just get em... you're paying for convenience and you know they'll match... if ya DIY, there's always some trial and error involved... but that's the fun part...

i think these look better than if you paint them. i don't believe irish's sides are reflective anymore. i could be wrong though.

if i want to get a GD going do I just contact customenterprise.com or should i get people together first. and does anyone know if customenterprise.com has ever agreed to a GD?

as a side note.....the only thing i like about this set vs tinting myself is that it's still clear, but gives it that dark appearence still since the lens is not completely black. since it looks tinted on the inside, it would look better with the scheme i'm going for instead of being totally blacked out.

I'll ask Greg when he calls me back if they offer or will be offering these for the rears. At that point.....THEN, I'll change my red out.
