Yep, niteshades and a TON of clearcoat and polishing.  Not bad for spraycans.  The massive ammount of aluminum you see is not the IC, Its my large 2 core aluminum radiator.  Ill get pics of the intercooler soon for ya....Its the stinger kit. Lots more work to be done....and I missed the power tour this weekend.......

Would it work better to use the Nightshades on the inside of the lens?No clear needed,and the plastic lens itself would protect the tint.Just need nice polished lenses.Just a thought because I may try that sometime....on a separate pair of lights.

Your car looks great....at least what parts are there to look at.LOL.

P.S.    can you get a clearer pic of the rear of the car.I would like to see them with less light and reflection on them....to see what I may be getting if I do them myself.Yours do look great.

Sure, I'll get you some better pics on Tuesday.  The spray is designed to go on the outside, not the inside.  If you put it on the inside, you don't get all the areas, since some parts are actually painted black on the inside.  This way, it looks a lot cleaner.  Its a bit difficult getting the spray to come out the same on both lights, simply because they are so large.  Other car owners have it easier, sine the lights tend not to encompass the ENTIRE rear end.  I thought i went way too dark, but then I had them hooked up in direct sunlight and those thoughts were erased.  They look just like they were painted with a two stage black paint, until they light up. 

I should actuallly have the body parts back next week, so I'm hoping to have it back on the road soon.

If I get it running right.  I'm having issues with the ACT sensor and the ECT in the intake.... it may be a harness problem....so I'm having a Fuel Ijector harness rebuilt at a local shop just to eliminate that from the realm of possibility.
