I agree.

Finish off the smoking of the clear lense and you get my vote .

he probably used VHT Nightshades. It's a transparent black (smoke) spray paint that you can buy for about $10 a can.

Why didn't you do the reverse light? Black it out and it will look fine. You might run into problems down the road since you didn't wetsand, or it will turn out just fine in the long run. Some more pics would be cool too.

I think i would look 10x better if u finish blacking out the reverse lens
