Haha looks can be deceiving, they actually look that awesome on film , but no; no refinish yet but i found a guy on craigslist who will do it next week for me. nothing actually beats seeing them in person with your own eyes its not comparable to any picture I'm so in love with them, that's why I'm actually able to see past that last mishap with out crying LOL. btw how do u like them white led indicators i'm really surprised at how much light it actually let through

Awesome. I think you'll love it even more after refinish, hahaha. While you're at it, see if that guy also applies clear tint over the headlights. Might as well knock down two birds with one stone.

As for the blacked out turn signal piece allowing good lights... Yeah, Nite Shade is something that takes experience to know how to use correctly. Since I've done a bunch of these, I know how to get it to be blacked, yet still let plenty of light to go through.

If you want the brightest white turn signal, I can send you a link to buy these set of high powered LEDs that I have not seen any vendors on here selling.

Haha, yah, I have a set of the LED strip that TRS uses. Just not sure on the reliability of them still. Maybe after a few more months and get the feedback from DK and Chris, I would feel more comfortable

Shadowline trim and black badging. Maybe even body colored reflectors instead of blacked.
