Some of the covers are not transparent.. I believe the only ones that are transparent are the gunsmoked and (silver) etched glass.

Also, here is the official ambergone thread, please have comments and questions in here: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11967

Gunsmoked is a gunsmoke tint color that is transparent. Black is literally a black color and it will not let any light through.

The only pictures we have on our site and on this thread is what we have. This is a brand new item that no one else can get, so this is definitely limited with photos. It would be great if everyone did contribute some photos though

I've been waiting to see these for the 1er. Like others I need to see how different colors look on a 1.

Will you guys be making these in SGM? I'd definitely be interested in either that or CF.

The Gunsmoked covers aren't that great. They don't really hide the amber reflectors, they just turn them into dark amber reflectors.

The Silver carbon fiber covers would be much better. They effectively hide the amber reflectors and make the headlights look crisp and clean like the Euro headlights.

I just checked **********s site. The Silver carbon fiber covers are also cheaper than the Gunsmoked covers. Another plus+

Well, then you and I are on the same boat, having to wait for those that are willing to purchase these vinyls and share pictures. Like I've mentioned before, if you're willing to purchase an ambercover, and you let me know, I'll go ahead and see if I can do something for you.

The etched glass is transparent as well like the gunsmoked. I've seen these on the E90 on all colors, and it looks really good. Universal pretty much.

To each his own. The gunsmoked is a popular color because it doesn't block out the whole amber, which sometimes it turns out to be too tacky. Same with the silver-etched and etched glass..those are transparent as well. It will not cover the amber reflector like the other colors.

If you would like to get the non-transparent ones like the silver CF, please be my guest--we ship these out within 3 days usually

The Gunsmoked Vitex Cover is on the AW
Maybe on the white, you can try and contribute pictures. Talk to me about it, I'll see if I can do something for you
