 FINALLY did it today. I was hesitant at first but it's growing on me. I made them a little darker than I originally intended too and I really regret not leaving the reverse lights clear, but like I said it's growing on me....what do you guys think?

Sorry the picture isn't real great I took it with my cell phone.

 3 coats of it but it really didn't come out shiny like I thought it would. I think I might wet sand it again and do another coat. It really doesn't look right being flat next to the shiny black body color does it?

 I used the VHT NiteShade. Can I get the plastic polish at Pep Boys that sounds exactly like what I need.

 Haha I know right well believe or not the light still comes through pretty good in the daylight and at night they look SICK when the lights flash. I ordered LED replacements for all 3 bulbs to help during the day though I'm not sure if they will or if it will actually be worse. It will definitely help with the reverse lights though. They are soooo dark though......I was just trying to make them look like rcg311's tails haha. Team DARKscide Dammit.
