Default Clear sidemarkers and turn signals installed today!



In an effort to subdue the sidemarkers, I made them like the euro Boxster markers. Very happy with Paragon's service. Here's some more pics:









I've got more pics but no time!
Take care,
Trav

The clears look great with your color and wheels. Also, I agree with your choice to smoke the sidemarkers like that, it does subdue it, as you wanted, and it flows, creating a bit of a gradient effect, going from the clear turnsignals and fogs, to the lightly smoked sidemarkers, and then to the silver of the car. Lastly, I third the notion that your wheels are hot.

DVC, can you tell me where you bought the wheels? I'd really like to purchase a set. Thanks.

Thanks a lot guys

Kenneth- your description is pure poetry!

Silverbullet951- Unfortunately RUF no longer makes this wheel. But they are out there if you keep an eye on the classifieds. It took me a long time to find them.

Will- Good question! I don't know but would be open to suggestions...

Why'd you have to go ahead and post this? Now I REALLY want to get a set of clear lenses for my car. It looks really nice with the silver paint. Great looking car.

DVC,

Those are some spank'n rims!! I've steered away from the spoke styles but those really look light and well vented, maybe the skinny side wall has something to do with it?? Ohh...

That lens upgrade is a must...nice job.

Thanks a lot for all of the kind words guys!!

NZ951- may I see a pic of your car with the handles please?

DAmian- Thanks! It's a Recaro SRD and I would highly recommed them as the bolsters are very supportive, yet you can still get in and out of them easily. Now I hear they're discontinued (?) , but the Speed model looks almost the same. This is a little closer pic of the SRD:
