Cool Smoked Turn indicators

Long Story Short...
- Went over to friends house and saw a camaro.
- Owner of the camaro pulled up and we talked to him.
- He owns a auto shop.
- Smoked the indicators for free

in my opinion, the white and black duo looks really nice on the tc2 especially after getting these done.

I've never been a fan of blacking/smoking as much as people do, blocks too much light output. Looks good during the day tho.

ya i did mine awhile back. havent updated my pics in awhile but it looks really good on blue i can say that much. at night though it sucks when i use my turn signal because the led's are on the inside of the mirror so the light barely reaches the middle of the lens. all in all though it makes the car look 100 times better

All in all it demonstrates poor judgment to block that much light output in the pursuit of one's definition of what looks good. If everyone did this, we'd have chaos on the streets in periods of reduced visibility. Don't drive at night or in poor weather and I don't have a problem with it. Is that all you've smoked? :-P

And as far as blocking light output....most cars dont even have signals in thier mirrors...i actually dont like them thats why i blocked mine out...and as far as the reverse goes...i dont really use reverse too much and am planning on superbright led's and doing the second reverse light mod in the next few weeks

Nobody uses reverse that much, but when you do -- it's important to be able to see, and to be seen by others. Oh yeah and the sky is blue.

hahaha i only smoked my mirrors because the turn signals in mirrors are practically worthless since my other 2 vehicles didnt have them. now i wish they would light up like they did when they were stock but until someone makes aftermarket mirror turn signals i guess im sol on that one ha. oh well it looks a lot better on my color and now the turn signals dont look out of place like they did before

I did mine a few weeks back and love the way they look on the Super White. No light emits through mine either, I didnt want that to happen but oh well.

Has anyone used red tint or any other red cover to cover just the passenger side where there is no reverse light?

No i haven't heard or seen that. I have seen the whole clear part tinted red but i personally don't like it as much unless your going for a specific style.

As so:
