Default What do you guys think?

Alright, im thinking about making my front turn signal lights black. I did a little paint sketch to see what it would look like, and i like it. I just wanted a general idea of what you guys think. Also, how do you think i should go about making them black, if i decide to? This painter i know, said he will buff the light and tint it really dark. (he doesn't even have to remove the light) This will only cost me about 30 bucks and he did it to his mazda. It looked like the car came that way. Any other ideas? The first picture is the car with the stock Yellow turn signals. The second, is obviously with the black.

Yeah, i know it's my choice. But, third party perspective is important. I don't want to be driving around and have some F-body people saying: "Man, that car looks pretty stupid with the black turn signals." lol, do you know what i mean?

More like "Man, that car looks pretty stupid with the side molding" lol.

Yeh I hear ya, but it's a subtle difference. It looks fine on your car cause it's white with some black parts. Stick with the white-black theme

How did you do yours? Did you have to buy them? If so, where you get them and what is the name? I like the tint idea this painter was telling me about, but yours look pretty good.

They make turn signal blackouts. If you did a search in the appearance forum I bet you could find more info.

Hmmm...looks good. I found the foglight blackouts from GTS from another forum for like $30 and they look killer with the blackout turnsignals. I'm gonna go with the AVS tailshades too for a clean blacked out look. Mine's a T/A tho.

Alright, i think I'm going to go with the tint idea though. It's different and this way i won't have the plastic sticking out. The light will look naturally black.

Also, what do you guys think about my new SS wing. I just got it on yesterday.

The SS spoiler is killer. The z28 one is so puny looking.

All this is making me want to do my car now. Don't know why I haven't since my whole theme is suppose to be dark green-black. As it is now:
