How would you black out the rear side markers? Not many people have this done.

That's what I had done. They have a guy over on Corvette Forum that tints them. He has exchanges, or you send him yours. He preps, tints, and the clears them. Here is a crappy pic of mine.

Not the same car..but here is the front markers on mine. The yellow stripe is no longer on the hood, and I am currently looking for some black wheels that I like.
