That's kinda harsh don't you think? I like the idea- not my thing but very innovative. Not too far from eyelids on headlights. I just don't like the tinted section is too busy. The body colored area is cool.

Obviously more expensive because you would want someone with experience in working metal.

Ok so I have a set of lamps I wanna sell. LOL Can't blame me for trying, but it could be done.
You had the exact same idea that I did. Modifying the bed so you could put them in and it would look nice and smooth. A good idea, but you would have to know what you were doing.

If not to be a dick, why are you asking?

The point is, it's a project he wanted to share.

I like it but I would have to tint the reverse red and add some aux reverse lights under my bumper. Definitely unique.

I don't see you coming up with any ideas... Seriously, he came up with this on his own and was trying to give the truck a better look without spending a lot of cash. If you don't like it, so be it. But don't go hating on something he wanted to try out.

Everyone needs to stop bashing seriously, this guy had a great idea and he's practicing at it, of course it's not gonna be perfect the first time anyone's ever done it. So take your hate somewhere else, you don't like what he's doing just leave it at "not my cup of tea" and move on, no need to be disrespectful.

To the OP nice work, great idea. With some refining I think it could look really good!

I really think I want to jump on this. I bet it would look good on my black truck.
