I have been bidding this however, the current high bidder must really want these bad!
I think that smoked look would look great on a black car without really compromising the stock look.
What do you guys think?

I would suggest you save $ and do your own lenses with Testor's translucent paint.

Antonioali, you can do that yourself for about $5-10 in hobby store paint. Testors makes a brand of spray on transparent paint..they have a transparent black which would give you the smoked look.

I did something similar with my orange rear turn signals, i sprayed them with red transparent paint.

Spray the inside of the lens.

One coat will do you fine, two coats if applied correctly will get you that shine.
