Default Is this possible? Has it ever been done?

I was thinking about this while I was photoshoping rims on my car...


Can I remove the emblems (yes) but can I also delete the side markers???

Like actually take it to a bodyshop and have them put fiberglass or something there, mold it and paint over it??? I don't really care if it's illegal because I don't think a cop would acutally pull me over for this...


Picture below is my car with photoshoped rims, drop, emblem delete, and side marker delete.

It has been done. I don't remember who did it, but there is a picture or two posted. I think it was a Silverstone car, but I could be wrong. It would require body work, and paint.

Do you think it would be worth it? I think it looks pretty bad ass there...

About how much would something like this cost?

It wouldn't pass the state inspection in NY. All factory lights have to be in place and functional.

No idea. I had it done at the same time as a LOT of other body work. I did not get a line-item bill.

not sure everyone knows about the sidemarkers on s2k. i mean most cars don't even have sidemarkers so i'm assuming most shops won't look for that factory sidemarker on the s2k unless they really know their vehicles.
