I've been using the smoked markers from P4E on my CW since a few days after I bought it in 2011. They work well, and look a hell of a lot better than clear or amber. I'm on the fence on color matched markers. I'm not really sure I actually like them, and most of the people who paint them can't match to white very well.

Smoking them is cheap (<$10 for a can of Nite Shades) but I don't think it looks good unless you have black or CSG. It's also a pain that light still goes through. Color matched is the way to go. Either buy paint yourself for $20 plus S+H or pay someone around $50 to get some.

yup, I ran clear on my CW GTI and it looked good, only wish I had done colour match instead though.

Where'd you get your chrome amber bulbs at?

Yeah the drop is actually lower than I expected to get out of the VWR springs, but I'm loving them.Chrome bulbs:

Chrome bulbs just have a chrome finish on the so they are not as visible if you run clear markers. They still light up amber. The stock bulbs are orange and visible with clear markers, hence the "fried egg" look.
If you want colormatched, you can do them yourself for about $35 or so.
