Looks good. Thats how mine looked before I decided to go darker second time around. But spraying is not the way to go. Ill admit that. Im going to redo mine in a few days once i get it in the mail.


Anyone know of any good brands to clearcoat?

I love smoked tails, and u'rs is no exception.

you've inspired me bro. I'm about to go buy some spray! This might as well go into a sticky. Simple and easy to do. It's good first mod to do instead of gettin' ricey ALL CLEAR TAILS! Those things are ugly and horrible!

Thanks bro...yea it was extremely simple. NOt hard to mess up, and if you do it not hard to go back and fix the work. Definitely all clear tails are horrible, lol

That sucks man. Nice hawaii. I use to visit my family out in kahala, lol. BUt yea anyways i forgot to mention that on the taillights buffing compund wasn't needed for the lights to be glossy. BUt i buffed them out anyways.
