Sidemarkers

[romanred62]

Well I think it's time I ordered some new sidemarkers. The yellow just isn't cutting it on my Black Saphire Metallic car. I'm currently looking at Khoalty's sidemarkers but can't decide whether or not to do smoked or dark... Also I figured while I'm already making an order I might as well do the corners as well. I'm thinking clear corners to match the headlight housing look.

Please post pics of your car, so we can help you make an educated decision....

There's one pic for now (not the best angle I know). I'm gonna go do a mini photo shoot of my car today after I wash it. So I'll post some more later this afternoon but will probably end up being tonight.

EDIT: Oh and since that picture I now have 20% tint.

[danewilson77]

clears all around might be a nice contrast....unless you're going murdered...

[Alphatek45]

Clears IMO. But I have no idea what "murdered" is lol

[gr330zhp]

Clears look great on a black ZHP. Very euro clean look...

I'd go clear.

And, for the record, I am not a fan of the murdered out look. I like to see contrast on cars. The murdered look just reminds me of a black blob -- with no discernible lines and contrast.

[romanred62]

Alright. Now that I've seen that pic of the black ZHP with clears I think I'm gonna go with that.

[danewilson77]

Good choice.

Murdered = all black

[Alphatek45]

Good choice.

Murdered = all black

Kinda figured that. Lol

Same here Marcus!

A car has to look clean and have contrast imo.

On the side markers I do like the dark on dark cars cause I am not trying to draw attention to the blinkers on the side of the car. The corners look good clear with those silver wheels too.

I would go dark sides and clear corners and rear with silver wheels.

Its Dane-ish

How is Khoalty anyway? Just put side markers,corners and tails in my shopping cart and it seems like a great price.
Never heard of em. I thought we had a free shipping code or something via Marcus, but I cant find it....

[Marcus-SanDiego]

If you buy more than $150 worth of stuff from Khoalty.com, use FREESHIPPING as the code.

That code was good for SEMA. However, Khoa tells me that any ZHP Mafia member who uses the FREESHIPPING code will get free shipping on purchases of $150 or more.

If there is a place for it, say that ZHP Mafia referred you and told you to use the code.

[Alphatek45]

Sweetness. Thanks, Marcus. Have you used them before? Good products,shipping, customer service etc?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Alpha, full disclosure. I have known Khoa since he was a kid. He's a great guy. I understand that he has good customer service.

He and I eat dinner together once a week. Whenever I buy something from him, he brings the part to dinner. haha.

[Alphatek45]

Gotcha! Thanks for the scoop.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

The good news is that if you buy something from him, and something goes wrong, you'll always have me to help out.

[Alphatek45]

Yeah, you can spit in his food for me at dinner

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Exactly.

[romanred62]

I wish I had $200 to throw around or I would do sidemarkers, corners, and LED tails all at once.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I'm going to have Khoa do some ZHP Mafia specials in the future, so that I can help guys like you, RR62.

[Alphatek45]

Maybe group purchases could hook up those on tighter budgets?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

As we get more members, and have enough people to do a group purchase, I am sure I can hook something up.

[romanred62]

That'd be awesome. Being a college kid on a budget I need all the help I can get.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Nice thing about being in the BMW community for so long is that I know a lot of the owners of the tuning and parts companies around here (southern California).

Trust me, when things get more busy around here, I can make sure we get some nice pricing on stuff.

[romanred62]

Sounds like I need to live in southern california. I hear so much about that area.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

It's a great place to live.

I'm jealous Marcus :p

[romanred62]

I went for a drive today with the windows down and the temps were in the upper 60s. Looks like tomorrow the high is 74 here!

Mid 70s for the whole week here until the weekend then it looks like rain. :(

[Alphatek45]

Same here in Georgia. 74 tomorrow and Wednesday.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Sounds as though there are other parts of the US that are still looking good as well.

[jjcools]

What was this about side markers?? :)

Anything is better than orange.

[Alphatek45]

Mafia derail ftw

Disagree...kinda liking mine. Didn't think I would...but I do.

[jjcools]

I guess I am just so used to clears from my allroad. The orange just looks off to me. I must say though, I have orange on all my tail lights still so my opinion is void. Maybe one day I will just get some new tails.

[danewilson77]

Had smoked Eagle Eyes on my last ride and loved them.....
