    I think black tail lights are totally sick and anyone who is thinking about doing it should!!! Unless your truck is a terrible color and it wouldn't match... Black on black baby! :D

    Haha I know right? I noticed that right after I saved the picture... :der:

    I dont have any pictures of it at night but I could take some. You can see them clearly during night and day. I actually want to take the tint off and go one more coat darker:D

    I KNOW!! I want to... I removed the ugly stripe that was the same color as my decals but I haven't gotten around to doing it to my tailgate. I want to either get white ones, or chrome.

    They really aren't. I only did two coats and I like it but I think I'd be happier with 3. I wish I had pictures at the moment to show you how clear you can see the lights.

    I've been looking in to plasti dipping recently.. Is it fairly easy? It sounds cool and I do want a flowing black look.

    How tough is it? If someone brushes against my bumper with their pant leg will it come off, or does it take a little effort?
