Although Suncoast website allows you to check tinted option when you order - not sure what you'll receive though.

Damn. Another reason why I just go with a tow hook plate mount.

when you pick tinted, you get a different part number than if you pick clear.

I ordered two sets of tinted... will let you know what I get

Default Suncoast Parts Is now shipping the Tinted Side Markers
Yesterday I placed an order at Suncoast Parts (online) for the “Tinted” Side Markers for my ‘16 Macan S and noticed that the part number was the same as the clear ones. So I sent a message to Ric Knab to make sure that I get the “Tinted” ones.

In in his reply he assured me that they are in fact the “Tinted” version.

A few moments ago, I received a notification from UPS about a shipment from Suncoast parts.

Just to let everyone interested that Suncoast is now shipping the “Tinted” Side Markers for Macans. .

Hoping someone will post pics when they get them installed. The LED strip inside looks interesting.

Seems like the installation will be a good time to upgrade the diverter valves

Default Looking good
What method did you use to pop the old ones out? The screwdriver method as mentioned in the manual or did you remove the 3 screws that hold the wheel well liner?

Your car looks very well coordinated! Nice!

Default Install
I have done both ways and think removing the 3 liner screws does make the job a wee bit less irksome.....

I ordered tinted ones from Suncoast parts. My Macan S is Agate Grey Metallic.
They’ll arrive next week. I will just take the wheel well liner route to avoid frustration.

Thanks.
