Default Just finished some stuff up....

I've been debating on if I actually wanted to do paint the tail panel or not. After looking at tons of pictures, I decided gloss black would look best on the car. The first picture I was just test fitting it to see how it looked in black, it's before I did any sanding or buffing. The picture afterwards is after sanding the clear and using rubbing compound to get all the fine tiny scratces out. Then I also have a couple of the whistler mod I did. I tured out decent, I just need to re wax the lenses, possibly use some rubbing compound on them then the novus 3 stage i bought for it. Sorry bout the quality, the photos were shot with my iPhone

where you paint the sliver inside the head light, usually black. I thought about tinting the tails, but I think that with the berger panel would be too much
