Question 993 with smoked front and rear indicators anyone?

Would like to see some pics of 993s with smoked front and rear indicator lenses. Anyone can email me or post a pic?

Also does the front smoked indicators look out of place beside the white lenses that house the small lights or do these lenses come in smoked as well? Can't seem to find them anywhere. If anyone knows of any sites that sells any of the above relatively cheap, please do let me know.

Thanks guys. Any help is much appreciated.

That's an interesting question.

Where do you get smoked lenses?

This is Photshopped:

Yuck. Those dogs won't hunt, not in my car. Thank you for the links, though.

I noticed a lot of Ferrari guys have smoke lens, when looking at them close I notice they are just a plastic tint film over the the lens.

I agree that the tinted film isn't good enough. I also think the VHT Nite Shades is a bad, but cheap idea.

You could get the lens coated with clear coat with a bit of black added. It would hold up like regular car paint.

These may be popular on ricers, but overall I think they are a dumb idea, because they reduce the light output of the particular lamp, and therefore have a negative impact on safety. The engineers that design these lamps do put some thought into them...

I think it cheapens up the look of the 993, just my opinion. I think it goes with an out of place, really dark tint on windows and a cheap set of 19" rims from a tuner catalog.

There's also the option of a carbon fiber hood, too.
