True, didn't think of that. A sick kid and lack of sleep will do that to you. Am thinking about doing this to my car but just don't have the time now.

Black-outs can warp your rear lenses after time.

blackouts are illegal in most cases as well. I believe they say off road use only on them. Plus yes they ruin your tail lens after a while in the heat.

Nite shades works well but it does fade after a while. I did my car and now they almost look like stock again. I cleared over them as well.

That looks real nice. Illegal but real nice. AT least in my state the code is written that you need to be able to see reflectors for 500 ft and the side markers need to be a certain color and seen as well.

Depends , blk-outs give it a mean as hell look , or you could go with the stockers for that clean look.
