How about this on my fogs?
I asked in another thread about doind my fog lights "smoke."
Here is a link to a sample from a Volvo site......hey, it's not a ricer site!!

Like I said in the other thread, I have some Cayman side grilles that I'm doing black and I want to do the front opening grilles, under the fogs, black, as well.
With the fogs smoked and a set of polished Carrera lightweights...... :dance:

I'm not a fan of reducing the performance of optics on cars. That's just me.
But then again, it is just your fogs/driving lights. And since your car is black, I think it has potential to look pretty cool.
Post pix when you get 'em.

Wait...you're going to darken/tint all the silver accents, then add polished wheels? Way too much bling for me (of course, just my opinion).

I'd agree if the Carrera lightweights weren't such understated wheels. There's just not alot of metal there, to be seen. That's why I love the Carrera lightweights, they really look like a very light racing wheel and quite a number of race wheels have always been polished aluminum, for two reasons; they are easier to clean and easier to crack test.
edited for bear paw typing.

I used the VT niteshades. My side markers are VERY dark and pretty much useless durring the day. The blinkers front and rear had very little light loss.

Smoking your fogs is possible, I did mine.

[QUOTE=maxferran]I did my tails, side markers, and turns on the 996
Who's stuff did you use? I've used VHT products before, their high temp header paint and it worked well.
ALso, how much does it "kill" the brightness of the lights?

I found overlays for tailights for panameras on his thread at : http://www.decalfx.com/pre_cut_lens_film_kits.html
Guess what, they have smoke overlays for headlights AND fogs for $47.00.
Cheap way to see if I like it!! :dance:
