tails look good. How much light do they put off when the brakes are applied? I'd be scared to run that in the day time with how dark they are.....
I would have done a couple less coats of the tint.. but looks sick.. better have some LED super bright bulbs in there..
what is up with your drivers side side mirror??

HAHA yeah it's very dirty! It gets pretty dusty in the shop, and pulling it out for the day and back in the building at night.
I think I'll be fine with the tint on the tails, the LEDs are damn bright, and the tint only looks real dark when it's not lit up. I'll post some pics tomorrow of them when the LED's on.
As for the Drivers side mirror, that needs to get replaced. I think the heating element in the mirror glass burned it up some how. I've seen a few trucks down here with the same problem. I went out of town for a couple weeks with my mirrors folded in at my Parents house, and I came back to the mirror looking like that. Who knows...

I know man, it's taking forever. I have never been so busy in my life, and I just put in my app for my dealers licence. The truck obviously need to take a back seat to making moves, and the house renovations I still have going.
