Looks good, but i think you should have masked off the reverse lights so you would still be able to see at night while backing up.

I taped off my reverse lights and it looks just as good, if not better, than 100% blacked out. At least my opinion!

Yeah if your using that crappy night shade (no offense lol) I would be careful how dark you make it.

I still consider this being blacked out. And in my opinion looks a little better.
