    Just spent a good amount of time wet sanding and polishing and waxing these bad boys! Believe it or not, they were cleared with quite a good amount of glossy clear, but IDK why they turned out flat still. Well now they are glossy and lookin good :D

    Will post pics

    tails look good! yea that VHT nightshade is some interesting stuff. the first time i did it, i put about 3 coats on within about 10min, came out nice and glossy. the last time i used it i took my time and let the first coat dry then sprayed again and it came out matte

    Yeah I have no clue why it ended up matte. I sanded some clear and polished and buffed them to make them more glossy on the finish, but it's not exactly the same glossy ness as the paint on my car. These will do for now, maybe later on I will get them painted straight gloss black at a body shop, reverse and brake lights cut out to be straight clear. I know other people have done that before and it looks great and has no problem with law enforcement!

    ^ Haha that's what I have been doing with my new lights all day! I need to get some harnesses for the angel eyes from TRS because they didn't ship any to me. Once i get em in I can wire up the angel eyes so I can hopefully run them as a DRL with the gatling gun shroud and look bada$$!
