You can also try RPI Designs, Josh is a great guy top notch products and great services. Just be sure that you get the acrylic covers and not the tinted pieces.

I advise going to a local window tint shop. You'll get a better, hands on job IMO.

I disagree. I saw a car that had a window tint shop do. Looked good until you get up close. Tint has a hard time wrapping around a curve. The surface area looked good, but the edges looked poor.

my 2 cents

So then you saw a bad job.

My point was/is... I ordered the film from a forum vendor (name withheld) and it was too thin and cheap to do a nice job. It was also too small to adequately cover the entire side marker. It didn't bend all the way around the corners. It looked awful.

I then found a local window tint shop and had them remove the cheap stuff I got online, replacing it with heavier, better quality film that covered the entire side marker, all for about $60 and he gave me the template so I have can more re-cut the same size should I ever need it.

Looks terrific...

Also I think it's important to distinguish that the OP asked for info about "sidemarkers" so that's what I was referring to.

My 5 piece acrylic taillight blackout kit I did buy from www.gscreationsllc.com and am very pleased with the quality. I highly recommend them.

I've got to give the nod to Richard at Corvette Enhancements. Richard is a forum vendor. The product Richard makes is OEM replacement lights (tail, front and rear sides and backup) that have been bonded with a tinted coating. These are stick-ons, these aren't cover-ups. These are the factory lights with a bonded tint coating that doesn't come off and really doesn't scratch. I used these on my C5 and loved them.

You're only 2062.23 miles away from me. In a Corvette that would be, what a couple hours?
