    That's a good shade. Just need to clear and wet sand now.

    What's funny is I bought the truck to tote around our forthcoming child (she's 35 weeks tomorrow). The wife drives a tC which is probably more fem than that minivan and I'll probably end up driving that around.

    Even though I'm orig from NJ I am an adopted Clemson fan. Those Cock fans (pun intended) have too much of an inferiority complex for me.

    Must be the angle or something then. Hard to get that to come across in a picture sometimes.

    Hodgey, I don't know if I like it or not. I think it'd look better if they were darker. Of course it may be the clear centers that are throwing me off.

    Either way, good on ya for the overall truck!

    my 07 was black and i have a ton of pics of that one....maybe thats what ur thinking of...

    i was thinking about darker too, like on the old one, but w/ not going for the whole blacked out theme again, i decided to tone it down a bit for these. all accessories are black, but i didnt wanna overkill it

    Yeah, it's not that I don't like the job you did, I just think the clear centers are swaying my opinion. I wish there were two sets of tails to compare.
