Default Smoked my lights

Everything except the headlights... I didnt feel like dropping the front bumper- the fog lights have the tint, but that has to go.

Looks great! I really want to smoke my side marker lights. Would look so much better on my candy red 2010. What did you use to smoke them? Niteshades?

Looks good. I'm doing the same this weekend. I'm using Niteshades followed by a clearcoat.

Yep, Nightshades. I wanted to to the headlights too, but I didn't have the time to drop the bumper. We finally have some nice weather here in Omaha so I was too anxious to get her back out on the road

Hey dude, do you recall how many coats it took to get to that shade? I'm spraying mine tommorow.

Can you post a side view of the calipers? I'm thinking about doing mine and can't decide between black and red.
