Finished up the black wrapping on the lower panels, b-pillars, and the fiberglass trim on the cap rear window.





The highlight of the blackout is the 1/4" black reflective between the black and the white, really looks great at night with light hitting it.

That's gonna look good the way you're doing it. Are you gonna do anything with the front bumper?

Thanks, and yes, I have the argent front bumper on order and having that done too. I also ordered the Lariat honeycomb black grill with the white outline and the emblem with the front camera option.

This one...

That will work well. SE style heads too? I'm a believer in using and modifying OEM type parts as much as possible. You can pick up SE style heads aftermarket for much less than OEM. I don't actually know what's out there for an '18, but I used SpecD on mine, and no problems with leaking at all. That's only a suggestion, looks like you're doing pretty good on your own.

Thanks for looking at it! We tend to get off topic at times, but I like to interact like that, helps to get to know the other guys with the same interests.
There's a thread somewhere on here, can't even remember who, that he taped off the nonchrome areas, and painted over the chrome with red tint or paint on the lens. Came out very nicely, and a whole lot less $$ than a full replacement. Maybe he'll see this and reply.

I saw that too since I have the LED replacement bulbs which are working out just fine, the painting the chrome red is a good option.
