Shark Grey Colormatched Fender Extensions and Smoked Out Markers
 
So I finally got around to having my colormatched front fender extensions installed, as well as both sets of smoked out side markers and rear fascia reflectors. Please don't ask me how to do it cause I had the dealership do the swap during my 500 mile service.

All parts were ordered, painted and smoked through my bud at oempartsdirectinc@gmail.com, so instead of sending me pms asking me where I got them just shoot him an email and he'll hook you up. (this is just a courtesy referral, I get nada out of it)

The smoked side markers and reflectors are a no brainer and they look awesome to me. I also really like the colormatched fender extensions but my eyes have to get used to them ... there is a small part of me that wonders is they would look better in carbon flash. But they definitely look ten thousand times better than the unpainted textured plastic.

Keep in mind that close up pic of the front wheel well if you're thinking of going the painted carbon flash route and also planning to have smoked markers ... right now with the SG extensions it looks correct and creates the contrast between the side marker and the spat, if you go CF paint then it will be a lot more darkness as you will have a black spat, black fender extension, black side marker sequence. Hope that makes sense.

Anyhoot, I'm going to keep them SG for now and see how I like it moving forward.

Cheers! :happy0180:

I think the color matched extensions make the car look well balanced with the smoked out lenses. CF would be too much. She's a Beauty!:thumbup:
