We have not had any complaints with these yet. I feel the price is more then fair when you think of the work that is put into them. Alot of shops sell these now ( Buschur racing, AMS, Lancer shop and slowboyracing). You can find them on any of their sites and ours (www.stmdsm.com) If they were not as nice as I am saying, I dont think these Top shops would bother with them.

I know some people aren't diyer's but honestly it took me about one hour to remove the markers both front and rear and paint them with some VHT Nite Shades that I purchased from O'Reilly's for around ~$10. Why would someone pay $138 for the same exact product they could do themselves for $10?

I'm not doubting your work quality. Doing a cost benefit analysis though makes a person wonder if it is financially worth it to buy a set of smoked markers as opposed to smoking them yourself.

Its kinda like, Is it worth a new set of wheels when you already have stock ones that you can paint?

On this color with the painted MR rims is the best example ive seen of the side marker. Other than this one car im not a fan of it.

LoL. No offense the red looks great as well. I just think the smoke goes well with the GG. Love your setup though. Red Evo's are beyond rare here in Miami.

I do agree that smoke goes well with the GG. There's something about the stealth look that appeals. That's kind of what I'm going for but it's kind of difficult with a red car.
