Default Where to find black/smoked side reflectors?

Looking for these reflectors:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-05-350Z-Z33-Black-Reflector-Bumper-Side-Marker-Lights-Lens-L-R-Set-/271244812904?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A350Z&hash=item3f27736268&vxp=mtr
If link goes down, they're the black front bumper side reflectors.

Missed a pair I was bidding on for $22. Looking for someone that has a pair or can direct me to a website. Looking to pay $30 including shipping. Please PM me.

Thanks

I put smoke vinyl tint on mine 4 yrs ago.
Can't tell the difference from replacement smoke
reflectors.Cheap,easy,look good as new.
Did the same for my backup lites.
e-bay vendors sell e'm pre-cut to the size.

I've done the vinyl paint and tint films in the past on different cars and it never looks quite right to my eye. Plus, I'd rather get these ones so I can flip in stock if/when I go to sell. Not sure why theyre so hard to find right now

Do I need to bother to search more for you, or do you think you can handle it from here?

Appreciate your help but those aren't the same as posted in the topic. You can see they're smoked amber, I'm just after the actual grey/black plastic ones.

Seriously though, you can smoke them yourself. How can you mess up with a spray bomb?

I've used VHT Nightshades before on a black Crossfire coupe I owned at one point. I also tried the smoke films on that same car, looked terrible. The VHT looked alright but I'm a bit OCD and it never quite did it for me. Whether or not that makes me a noob, not really concerned. This car isn't my first time on the modification train.

Originally had mine tinted, but after I was in an accident I had the shop spray them. I like the paint better, shows no amber at all. The tint slightly showed amber at certain angles. I left my rear signals tinted since they are still perfect.

Yes that would be the best option, to have them professionally sprayed and cleared. Unfortunately my painter has a penchant for giving me ginormous invoices! Perhaps in the future, thanks for the feedback.
