<strong>BAD###!!! I am IN LOVE with my silver WS6 all over again... gotta ask though... how'd you make your side markers black? Is it just paint? If so.. what is the process??</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This stuff called Nightshades or whatever. My friend had it in his garage and i did that while we were doing the springs. Works pretty good!

I'm gonna get the clear ones soon though...

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> I keep hearing about this Nightshades crap but I can't seem to find it anywhere... I want to use it on my tail lights. I too am going to get clear side markers... but, i'm making them myself. Have you seen this site?

I think i'm gonna actually order the ones from afterthoughts. I -really- don't want to end up doing a ghetto job on a car that gets compliments daily. And this is coming from someone who works in a glass shop where diffusing plastic, plexi, clear glue, etc. is plentiful.

What would be cool would be to shave off all the side markers and put a single row of clear LEDs (that light up red or amber) about 3 inches long in their place. Kind of like those led taillamps on sporttrucks.

 

Your car looks awesome!!

 

i would order mine from afterthoughts but last i checked they didn't have them for the rears... and I want them all 4 to match perfectly. If I do it myself, i'm going to a salvage and picking up some spares to work on... so if I fubar i can stick the stockers back in.

I like it but the only downside is that it isn't very glossy, even when we sprayed clearcoat on them. But other than that, I am happy with it and I haven't heard John complain yet.

The only thing I seemed to notice taht over a couple of years it did appear to fade.

 

So did people say bad things about the sportlines and tell you not to get them? I got my sportlines in the mail the other day, but I havent put them on yet. And to "properly" lower fbodies the right way ive heard you should buy rear LCA relocation brackets and an adj torque arm. At least thats what I heard...
