Looking good. I just did an outline of my light and allowed some light through an opening. Gotta be careful with that in NC. I got pulled over 4 times when I had my tails completely dark (like yours).
haha, yeah my brake lights work perfect and shine quite a bit of light through. i have to be careful backing up though since you cant see my reverse lights. lol, i did 3 coats of VHT niteshades and 2 coats of duplicolor clear
