Look's Awesome! Look's like they did a great job, but can't really tell without a close-up of the paint.

Nicely done, though I have to ask, what's the point in blacking out the turn signal lenses to the point they're likely no longer useful?

I've seen a couple of pickups here in Fort Worth with tail light so dark, you can't see them at night until you're passing them.

They just look darker than they are...I'll take more pics. When the signals are flashing, they are very bright.

Got it.

Looks nice, honestly, though I swore off dark vehicles after the last...um, few of them....
