Hey,

I was looking at getting these for my car but I wanted to know if anyone had any prior experience with these?

They're both a little thick - they will look like tacky add-ons.

I went with black vinyl overlays from eBay for this reason. Also, less than $20 when compared to $150+.

Well "tacky" is definately not what i'm looking for?

I was thinking about getting it in a silver type color rather than black (like your car) any recommendations for that?

kinda of a noob question but would my right and left signals be able to show when I use them if I had bought these vinyls?

Get Vitex Ambergones and call it a day. Love mine in Gunsmoke, definitely not a fan of color matched ones...now that looks tacky IMO.

They are a more complete look than the vinyl but if that isn't as important, then you can do the vinyl. However, I prefer the painted pieces.
