How Do I Smoke Out Clear Reflectors and Side Markers

Hey Fellas -

I currently have clear reflectors on my Jet Black e92 and put them on at first to match the sidemarkers - now the whole look is just starting to bother me -

Is there any way to smoke out those four pieces rather than buying new smoked one\'s (spray/paint/vinyl wrap?)

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

May be replace them? Some vendor had them for ~$15, can't remember who though...

Here's one for $25: http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/p171...duct_info.html

I heard people buy a small can of the same paint (ex. jet black) as the car and paint them. Then they "appear" as if they are not there.

Thanks for the suggestions - I think I will just wrap them - I don't want to spray paint since it may be uneven and is not reversible.

I'll post pics soon!!
