Default Side Marker Delete

Are there any products out there that can delete the side markers without changing the front bumper or doing any body work?

You could paint the sidemarkers? Not exactly a delete though.

I painted then on my old GS (before I replaced the entire front bumper with a kit which had no side markers). Looked great I thought - close as a delete as you can get, but they still lit up at night.




Have seen it done and look good on a silver GS as well.

Edit - old thread link showing the product I used when I did it.

The side markers look out of place that why I want to make them blend in or find an easy delete or a cover for the hole.

When i said out place i meant that it doesn't look like it belongs. I would like to find a cover of some sort. I think that i might have to get them shaved.
