With no real options that I liked that were simple enough I went the Lamin-X route as well. I think it works well with a White GTS since it has black accents. It also comes with the rear reflectors for the bottom if you choose to install those. Completely changes the look in my opinion.
Before After Left Side - Tinted Right Side - Original
The orange lenses are such an eyesore. Looks like the lower rear valence ones are new. I did a light tint on the front fog and marker lenses as well to better match the blacked out GTS headlight housings.

Didnt think about those. Great idea. What color did you get to match it?
yeah I didn’t know what they were in the box since the order only said side markers. A forum member mentioned it and I had my ah ha moment. They should advertise that it comes with the side markers your order.

I did gun smoke on the sidemarkers and light tint on the fogs and markers. I bought mine direct from Lamin-x too but a year ago and did not get the rear covers. I don't even see them listed as standalone on their site.

That looks really good and matches well. Was curious if the light tint would be enough or I would have to go to the next level up that they have.
Yeah they don't even mention them when you order the side markers which was strange
Suncoast now has clear side markers. They are not OEM though. $60 plus S&H. I don't understand why we have side markers anyway in the U.S. European Macans don't have them. Now if you could get your hands on a European front bumper.....
I thought all Macans, Euro as well as U.S., had the same body panels. Am I wrong? BTW, I bought clear yesterday. They'll be on by Thursday. I'll try to post pics afterwards. Can't wait.

All US Macans, regardless of trim, have the front bumper corner marker lamps.

USDOT mandates orange light on the front corners visible directly from the side and red light on the rear corners directly visible from the side. And it has to be at the corners so ROW fender side markers weren't good enough even though it made more logical sense to be on the fenders, But no inspector or police officer gives a crap about this antiquated rule.
Very glad ROW has gone with side markers up in the mirror housings now which makes it less cost effective to decontent that neat safety feature from US cars as I presume molding unique mirror housings for the US costs more than punching the holes in the fenders for the old style side markers.

I see that tinted ones aren't available yet.
In my 997 Turbo I was stopped for no front plate - DPS officer also noted that my clear side markers were illegal even with amber bulbs. He said the side markers had to be amber reflectors. Received a "no fix it: warning" on both plate and side markers although law has changed in Texas now that a no front plate ticket could cost you up to $200 + plus a fix.
