Thanks man.
I am getting a black tail panel, for a berger tail panel. I should have that on Thursday, and hope to get pics up from that too. I think that the addition of the tail panel will let the black from the front end flow over the roof and compliment it all. It should look good.

Stagnkilr: It is a 2 inch skyjacker kit. Man I can take speedbumps like no one else 
...watch out I might run ya over. I plan on getting springs, shocks, and relocation brackets over the winter. Gonna try to talk my parents into a nice Christmas present.
superchannelkev: I dont really like clear lights, plus the cops in my area will get you for those. Even if you have an amber bulb, they still will try to get you, and I dont want the hassle.
As for my lenses. They have been that clear since I bought the car about a year ago. I make sure to clean them really good when I wash the car because I dont want the fogging issue. BTW: Thanks for the compliments guys.

Looks dam good. Im going to do it to my car as soon as i get a chance. Is there anything I should know about doing them? Is there a write up on it? Although it looks pretty straight forward.

Yeah there is a write up at http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/224386/2
Pretty much just follow the instructions. Both my headlights took about 30-40 minutes. i think my tempearture switch is messed up on my oven. Basically just put them in one at a time for 20 minutes at 200 degrees. Take it out and try to carefully pry off the lense. I broke my houseing in several places during the whole ordeal. The way the housin broke in each place didnt really matter because I could just glue the pieces back on with rtv sealant. I really didnt care much about the housing as I knew if I craked the edges I could seal it back up with the rtv. Just make sure you dont break the lense, because if you do then you are royally screwed. And if you do crack pieces off your housing make sure you seal it up good, because if you get water in there you are just causing more problems than you want. If I had to do it again, I would definatly take more time to do it, and be alot more gentle on the prying part. Good Luck.
FYI, I used glossy black Krylon. I think it looks way better than the flat black that most people use.
