Markers in front bumpers, what ya got?
Ok, so i'm on my way home from work yesterday, and im crusing at like 70 and bambi decides to play tag with my car. Fortunately I avoid most of the sucker, but still hits the front bumper on the passenger side and cracks my marker light.
My question to all of you is, one, what have you done for your front bumper marker replacements, and also what your combos with different bumpers and reflectors are. Any photos would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance guys.

I went with red. I used Tamiya red translucent paint to do the fronts and the rear bumper lights. This is a perfect paint as it keeps a factory look with functional reflectors.
The rears ... They didn't turn out very well. I tried using a clear coat after and it was a mistake. Left it a little dull. I'll redo them eventually.

Sprayed mine with tint spray. Held up great (over a year old and looks like the day I sprayed it) and I made it relatively dark... though I'm thinking about doing what BlueZ33 did - spray them flat black. I don't know how it will look on the PPW... not to mention I'm buying a CF front lip so it might clash?!
This is a little difficult to see but gives you an idea:

I got smoked overlays, they're cheap and easy. I would have gotten replacement reflectors but apparently, the regular Z smoked reflectors don't fit the Nismo bumper.

i went to advanced auto and picked up a can of the duplicolor acrylic enamel in flat black (paint code DA1605). all i did was take them out scuffed them up with the scuff pad the body shop uses. i then sprayed them with an adhesion promoter then painted them flat black.
