I have an '04 Silverstone and really like the look of the smoked lenses. Is there any real difference between actual smoked lenses and the smoked tint lay-overs for the lenses?

Also...for the actual smoked lenses...how difficult are they to install?

Thanks for any info.

 

I haven't seen the tinted overlays in person, but i liked the idea of having the real thing better so that's what i did.

One side is easy to install, u can do it from under the car an just remove most of the splash guards. The passenger side tho is a PITA to do thanks to the washer fluid bottle. If you have the right tool, it's do-able, otherwise it's easier to remove the bumper. It took me 5min for driver's side... 30min for the passenger's side haha.

 

Where were you able to find the actual lenses in a smoked version? I've looked but have had little succes other than the smoked side markers.

Holy Crap....is that your Z on your homepage??

 

The actual smoked lense? Alot of times ppl refer to them as the "smoked side markers" as well. I got mine from... courtesynissanparts.com, great place. Also very reliable place is performancenissanparts.com... a few of the guys who work there are on the forums as well and are great guys.

And yea, that's my Z on my page... The orange stock-looking one tho, not the fully-modded with ings bodywork at the very first page
