Laminx Lamin-X side markers?

Anyone order these? How is the fitment? Do you take the side markers out or just lay the film on top of them? Do they hold up with a touchless car wash?

I *hate* the orange front side makers... stupid North America... I know Europe does not have them....

1st I've always purchased mine from Aaron at Outmotoring. Second, they simply apply over the lens without removing the light/lens. Once installed I've never had an issue with them even using a high pressure wand (I don't run my cars through a car wash).

I saw that Outmotoring carries them, but they didn't offer a tint level... do you happen to know how dark they are? (super dark?) got pics?

Thank you.

Any vinyl shop/window tinter can do this. Lyle from Vinyl Styles did all the black out work on my car.



More pics on Flickr. Link is in my signature.

I bought a set a couple of weeks ago. They definitely fall into the "$5 and a can of spray paint" mods.
Applied one, stepped back to admire, then took it off and threw everything away.
Onefish2's look good, but these were nothing like that.

We carry many of the lamin X products.

Side Light Marker Protective Film R55 R56 R57 & R60 Models part numbers MN407-1 Gunsmoke to Red and everything in between.


http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/MN407-1/


Here is the options for the side marker with % if you are looking for something else. Against the light and white the gun smoke look a little lighter but applied looks darker.



Thanks
