    I think it looks pretty hideous myself, almost as bad as the 09+ stock style.

    i like the way they looked with your brakes, blinker, and reverse on. but they really do look like crap without the lights shining through. maybe try to re-do them with like one light coat or a gray smoky color to make them look like they did with the lights on. i'd dig them if they looked like that, makes me think about doing this to my super white. although, the stock doesn't look bad on your red truck. just my worthless 2 cents.

    It would look really good if it had a higher ratio of clear to black, but the way it is right now, I'm not a fan. Nice truck though man!

    if I was was you, I would try a different clear coat... the red ones might look good they just need more of a glossy look to them same with the black ones.

    look at mine, they dont look dull

    I think they look alright, but its not my style. Specially with the red truck. Maybe if you smoked them lighter and not so dark. more of a transparent black so you could still see the lights pretty well. Just my .02c but to each there own, if you like them keep em on!
