Hmmm I can't really decide how I want to paint my either. I've read the light output isn't that great for the turn signals if you black that part out, but some other people dont have any issues. I like the way ZEUES has his because makes the car look mean. But I think it looks weird without the reflector, even if that spot was painted black. I think I'm leaning towards painting mine like Tequila, but I think I'm going to leave in the amber reflector, I guess it's going to look more like the Aspec ones....

Thanks for the heads up, I saw pictures of them, and debated on going that route. But I saw Zeus as well and like that even more, but it seemed weird to me without the reflector, I wish they still made clear reflectors...But I actually like iforyou version the best.
