Id say after the wheels/tires limo tint on the back, 15% on the front. Personally I would nightshade the tails but that is me. Rhino line the tool box, black out the decals. Just a few ideas. Keep working on your truck, it'll keep you out of trouble. Atleast it did with me haha

Yeah it definitely keeps me busy and out of trouble. I want to give it the black out look and have actually throught about the night shading of the tails. Have you done that before? If so what is the process used?

I did the headlights on my moms race car. The side markers look AWESOME but the head lights were old and didn't work out. Best is to use lie 500 or more grit and smooth them out and clean them like you would anything else you would paint and spray it very even.
