Front Side Markers & Antenna

[NPTR]

Hey guys - two things I immediately want to change on my RR are the front orange side markers (want smoked or black) and antenna (want smaller / stubby antenna for overhead clearance in parking garage). What are the aftermarket options you guys are using for these simple parts?

I don't mind smoking the side markers with spray if no good aftermarket solutions yet...but would prefer to buy if you guys have had luck finding.

Tried searching and didn't see anything, my apologies if I missed a thread...thank you!

Search for Cravenspeed stubby antenna. I got the Jr on mine (2 inches). Can find them on Amazon as well.

Awesome, thank you - appreciate it! Know many options out there, just didn't want something cheapo...so good to get the referral.

I bought one of the stubby antennae from BuiltRight…

Just ordered Cravenspeed as I like the look of that one a slight bit better, but that BuiltRight one looks nice too.

Now I just need the side markers and this thread will be a success story haha

I don’t think there will be a lot of marker options in the U.S. since the orange side marker is required. Dumb rule but my guess is that will drive demand low enough companies won’t see the profit potential to make smoked or clear ones.

Feel like most cars have smoked / black / clear / paint matched options...I'll never mess with my tail lights, but this one impacts look a lot and prob safety very little...all my cars are color matched given it's in paint, but this one being in the raw plastic part, would prefer smoked / black. If not, will just do myself...thanks!

I sprayed my side markers with smoked tint paint.

Wow…looks sleek de-badged as well! I got the decal kit on mine as I felt like if I was gonna drive a raptor, own it and go all out hah! But was wondering what it would look like more minimalist like this…looks nice!!!

Thanks. All my vehicles get de-baged. I like the clean look without stickers and badges.

Im generally with you, but I deviated for the Raptor…feel like it’s one car I don’t mind being a little radical!
Which tint spray did you use? Used VHT in past and liked it…but it’s been a decade since I did it last.

I used Rust-oleum Lens Tint from AutoZone. It went on smooth with no orange peel.

Nice will check out - VHT Nite Shades was what I used in past. Will check yours out!

Cravenspeed stubby on, along with a paint correction and 5 year ceramic coating to keep her fresh. She’ll be living outside for all her life, but gets to enjoy one night indoors as the ceramic cures…looks extra beastly after seeing a tiny M2CS here usually ever day

Nice, I just installed a stubby on my XLT today. I was occasionally hitting the warning bars on 6'-8" parking garages. Seems like an odd design choice there.
