You know I thought that too. I put black in first and you couldn't see any detail, looked just like the stock bumper all you could see were the driving lights. I put in the silver and it looked much better. I'm glad it worked that way as I really don't need any more black to chip up!

The only thing I would change is to make the side markers uniform. If you want I can send you down my orange/yellow ones. I switched to all red.

Hey thats looking great, love the blacked out head lights. You have to heat them in the oven to get the glass/seal off. How tricky is that?

LED side markers are coming but I don't know what color they are. So you got red front and back?

I can't get good pictures of them but there's a boat load of white LEDs in there.
I'm not sure of the opening process but I know to seal them this guy uses the same technology that dentists use to bond teeth.

That's why I brought back the chrome strip on the hood and the chrome trim piece around the grill. I had blacked all that out when I was running the stock front bumper.

Dude I may need you down here for that one!! The front's still not right I just found out my low beams aren't working so I may have to take it apart again. That's what you get for testing headlights on a sunny day!!

Yes sir!! I liked it better than the clear. We did this for Dman who has the same kit as you.

How are you making with the rear?
