Painting stock markers are one thing, but having clear or smoked ones manufactured would be a bigger undertaking, so if he's done this before for other cars, I assume he has a connection w/ a factory that can duplicate stock pieces, only using clear or smoked plastic instead of amber?
Here's a pic of smoked markers on my C300. Depo serves much of the aftermarket wrt headlights, markers, etc. I'm just as surprised as everyone else here that they haven't come out with F15 products yet.
I received a pair of the stock ambers markers in the mail on Friday. I'll probably use window tint on them first to see how they look. Can take it off and then paint if I don't like how they look. |
Yeah, I figured stock method was the best way as well. I just wanted to double check since I'm not familiar with this process at all. He's the one doing everything. I just helped him out with the part numbers to get the original amber reflectors, so he can create new ones from that. He actually showed me his work on doing custom clear reflectors and light housings, so he definitely knows how to do it. I'll show him the smoked reflector. Knowing him, he'll be able to do it without issues. Again, this is just to let everyone know it's coming. I'll update once they are made and link his info for everyone if anyone is interested. In case anyone was wondering, I get nothing out of it except helping the community and my friend
