Just a note to prospective people or those that are sitting on the fence due to price...

Chris is absolutely doing this mod/selling completed sets at a steal in my opinion.

I have opened up a set, and let me tell you, it is way more amount of work than you can possible imagine, not to mention that first timers will absolutely no-doubt break something in the process. I certainly did, even though I have a ton of experience of cutting and taking things apart.

Definitely have Chris do it for sure. The hours he puts in to complete these practically has him working a bit above minimum wage. I personally think he's crazy!

hey everyone, i shot a quick comparison video in the daylight so you guys can get a better understanding of what this mod really looks like in person. this is an internal blackout mod and does not involve tinting film. check out the video and you will see that the taillights are not tinted on the exterior....all the lights and functions are just as bright as before yet the aesthetics of the light have changed.


please be sure to view the video in HD
