    Does anyone know if there's an option to change out the amber side markers to clear. I'd really like to do it as I think it would look so much cleaner

    So it's just pre-cut tint? Anyone use them yet?

    I believe it’s just transparent vinyl (think more pliable window tint).

    So if you paint them, light won't shine through and they won't reflect no?

    That’s correct. If you want it to still light and reflect, smoked or clear is probably a better (although still not technically legal) option.

    I just had them painted at a body shop. The amber light actually still shines through when the lights are on a little. Not that I want it to, but it does... Remember the euro front bumpers don't even have the light, which is what I wanted it to look like without having to get a new bumper.

    Euro spec F430s without the front and rear 'blemishes' are so clean! They've all the luck! Lol.

    Funny, I hadn't really paid attention, now that I see that, they really do look forced in on the USA bumper

    Think I'm gonna get me those tints

    But the tint is still going to make them stand out.... Unless you have a black car....

    Grigio Silverstone. Yes , they will stand out , but I think it will look better than an orange and a red one

    Nooo! tinted doesn't suit a Ferrari well in my opinion and still will stand out too much.... You should definitely reconsider and paint them! cheapest and easiest way to get the euro bumper look. Looks just like the headlamp washer next to it... Here is my car.

    Of course I did just have my front bumper repainted las week… so am seeing this thread about 7 days too late for the best solution! :)
