Default Smoked side markers on Shadow Gray C7 ZR1

I hated the way the orange (and to a lesser extent the red) side markers distract from the beautiful lines of the C7, particularly in Shadow Gray (GJI). So I got some smoked film pre-cut off Amazon and applied it. Was easy to do and grips well. The lights still shine through when needed. A no-brainer mod for $15.

See pics below for before/after.

Maybe one of the before and after labels is reversed? Rear shot, on the lift? Seems odd you would make it look red.

Did you get 20% dark smoke, or 35% light smoke?
