Default Smoked the lights on my CL600

Ok, so I finally got off my *** and did it. I smoked the side markers, turn signals in the mirrors, center brake light, and the tails. On the tails, I masked off the white for the first 2 coats so that the white is a little lighter. What do you guys think? BTW, sorry for all the dirt...it rained on my way to the hangar to do this.

Looks MUCH beter. Good job! I liked that you left the white stripes a lil lighter tinted.

Now just get rid of those ugly wheels and get some nice blingin' chrome or black w/polished lip and it will look perfect!

Thanks! Actually none of those lights were supposed to be as dark as they turned out...but apparently when Nite Shades dry they darken up, so now I'm REALLY glad I masked off the white for the first couple of coats. Oh well, doesn't look horrible.

And yea, the wheels are ugly. The next mod will probably be some SLR replica wheels with a black center.

A little dark for my tastes, but very nice workmanship.

Thanks! ...and yea, they really weren't supposed to be that dark; but it's too much of a PITA to fix at this point!

I agree with all you guys on the wheels. The wheels that are on it are actually very lightweight (for an 18) 1 piece forged...but that doesn't make them pretty! These are the wheels I want...and I found a smoking deal on some down around Houston.
