Not big on the flareside boxes, but the rest of it looks incredible!

Looks great man. Hey, how did you smoke your tail lights? Did you use Nite Shades or buy new units? I really want to do it to my truck, but I have heard mixed reviews of Nite Shades.

Thanks everyone. To Okstatef150 I used niteshade, not the rustoleum but actual niteshade. I sanded them with 2000 very lightly all over. Then hit em with light coats untill you get as dark as you want. I did it this way because I dont have a buffer. But they look great to me

Nice, looks great man. How does it hold up? I'm going to put that on my tail lights, just want to make sure I wont have to re-do it every time I wash my truck.

The niteshade spray looks flat after it drys, If you want a nice glossy turnout on the niteshade spray, clear coat works wonders just add it till you think its glossy enough lol. Im about to put my tinted tails back on later today. I wanted to touch them up a bit more... but i think they may be too dark lol

Nice, I'm going to get some tonight with the clear coat. I am just worried because it's 105 degrees here all day and I dont think it will cure properly. I think I'll take them off and put them in the house for the night then do 2 coats of Niteshades with 5 or so clear on top of that. I dont want them so dark I get pulled over. Figure if I do that and wet sand the clear after its dry, it should look ok. Plus, I painted my badges flat black anyway, so if its a little flat it wont look too bad. Thanks for the help.
