the only problem with doing lights is that they need the reflective part to light up right, but if it looks and WORKS good then sweet.

Now what you really odda do is paint from the bottom up to the first crease black. That would look awesome. I really like the black and red. Becarfeul painting you headligts. I know in PA it is illegal to black out head lights and taillights. Maybe its just taillights but i am 99 percent sure head lights to

Great work. I could never do anything like that due to my lack of patience.

Ever think of getting aftermarket badges and emblems, blacking them out and reselling them? Might be worth a few bucks to someone to not have to do the work ... Personally I like them all-black ... Be sweet on a camo hunting rig ...

Shakerzone sells the headlights already painted for you. He charges $110.00 per set shipped to your door. All he asks is you send yours back to him so he can do another set.

Those emblems and badges look great. I think the wheels black will look sick and i think what john dear said about painting the bottom of the body panels black would definitely look sick as well. good job

That is cool. If possible you should paint the inset parts of the wheels red. give it a 2 tone effect
