IND Sidemarker - colors?

Post up your custom painted side markers.

How do you think this combo would look on Space Gray-
-Gloss black outer (to match with gloss black kidney grilles)
-Space Gray inner
-Blue mesh (same as calipers)
-Dark tint LED

Too much?

IMHO, the best bet is body color matching. The reflectors are an eyesore in general so I never want them to stand out. Ive seen black ones on white cars and other colors but here stay with your issued color.

i agree that color matched reflectors are best but i think the OP is referring to the side gills/side markers, since he made mention of the mesh and led's.

OP, i went with gloss black outers, matte black inners and dark tint LED, my car is Laguna Seca Blue. i think on your car the colors you mentioned would look great but may be too much color in a small area. i'd stick with two colors

Oooops my bad, I always associated the word markers with those reflectors.

Thanks guys.

I think the side markers could be an area to have a 'little fun' with color in a subdued and classy way.
But I do hear ya in that it could be too many colors in one small area.

What about-
Gloss black outer
Matte black inner
Blue mesh

?
