Hey guys, i just wanted to get am idea what everyone thinks about painting the bumper lights to match the body of the car.

I have an IP also, so it already looks clean with clear corners... but i kinda like the way it looks painted, makes the car look clean also.

Here is a pic: (not sure whose pic this is, sorry for using it)

you have two options.
one: get a vinyl film that matches your car
two: get the sidemarker painted.
go to www.instylegraphics.com

they can make you a custom film or vinyl that you can install yourself.
If you live in socal you can even take your car to them.
They did all my lights. If you want call them or email them and tell Harris (owner) that James told you to call. (with the black g35c).

Hmm... i think you have the wrong car, heres mine. I do have black wheels, no emblems, no overlays. Although i have been considering doing front cutout overlays in solid black, or just tinting whole lights.

I painted my stock amber corners to match my IP. I also had the clears but the front of the car looks soo much cleaner with the IP corners. I did it last april when I first got the car and the paint has held up really well, no chips or fade at all.

I did them myself. I got the spray cans mixed from PaintScratch.com for about $50. I sanded the ambers down smooth, Primer x2, white basecoat x2, pearl coat x1 and 3x clear. They came out pretty good for a DIY.
