Yeah the black grille looks sick. I'm on Ebay now trying to find one. That's a 'replacement' grille right? I deffinetly dont want an insert. You can get an upper and lower grille set from Ebay for fairly cheap. I deffininity need to toss my stock honeycomb... Are those 6" lights behind the grille?

I like the black billet grill, I did the same thing only with my honey comb grill and my old stock tail lights and it makes a huge difference, I noticed your 3rd brake light was missing, are you spraying it too?

How many coats of niteshades and clearcoat? I am looking to do my tails and thought yours were the perfect amount of darkness. I hear you can see real good through one and three is like pitch black. Yours look like 2 coats.

Wanting to do this to my tails and brake light. How'd you go about doin it? Did you sand the lights? How many applications and did you have any problems with runs?

Did you sand you honeycomb down at all or did you just spray it?
