Default Blackouts

Looking for some front turn signal blackouts, just wondering if anyone has the ones from the corvette mall here on the forum, or if there is another brand people go with.

I did all my lights with Krylon interior/exterior flat black. 2 very light coats. It was actually pretty fun.

CE looks like the most professional way to do it, but having the car down for 2 weeks wouldn't be much fun.

You can do what I did and buy a second set used or new, send to CE for coating and sell yours after you swap them. I bought a complete new set and had Richard coat them. No down time and quality is absolutely top notch.

wow that looks good...might have to just buy another set so there is no down time. Being 10 years old it probably wouldn't hurt to install new ones anyway.
