My real end game is to fill the holes and finish the area and repaint - no strakes at all - like Ichon. I think this is simply the cleanest look around....

BoilerUp, what did you use to black out your side markers? Is that film, or paint? Looks good.

Thanks BMorgan, I used a film kit from a company on ebay that had heads, tails, front sides and foglights. As my base does not have fogs, I stretched the fog light piece with a heat gun and patience and applied it to the rear side markers.

I wanted clears but I do not like the 'bubble out' look of the ones available today, not to mention $100 a pair is unreasonable for small pieces of plastic. If they still had the flat clear ones, I would consider those, but I think the blacked out look fits this car pretty well
