Hey guys,

Looking to pull the trigger on these bad boys http://ind-distribution.com/ind/cate...ide-marker-setbut was wondering if anyone had any pictures of what they look like on LBB. I figure that these would look nicer than the all black blob. I'm wondering if the blending in of the LBB color and only the raised side being black will help it look more like a vent or help the lines stand out.
If anyone has any suggestions for any other brand or style that is not the typical performance side marker from BMW please feel free to mention them!

Someone did the inverse and it came out looking quite good. I may consider it. Here is the post

Hopefully I can remove them from my current order before it gets to port so I can order them painted otherwise I will just get them painted myself.

Great find. That looks great as well. I hope someone has a pic of this so I can compare it side by side. I'm unsure which look helps the side marker look more like a vent then tacked on

Personally, I like the black back. The color matched one makes it look like a hole was patched or something.

Here you go! IMO, pic #1 looks the best

Yeah. I don't know if its the angle or lighting or what but the 1st looks so much better. I wish there were pics from further out to see but the 1st is definitely the one I'm leaning towards.

Here are some shots I took of the car from a bit further out. Hope it helps.

Yup decision made. Thank you for this

I'm a big fan of that look because the black "background" piece allows the surround of the sidemarker to continue to look like a fender vent, and simultaneously highlights the shape of the sidemarker. I think it's a great choice!

gloss black "vent" with the paint patched vent looks so clean

Agreed! You guys did an awesome job with them. Quality product!!

I would have gone CF backing, but don't think you had it at the time.
