Take out the spaces the arrows point to and fill in the middle.
put the link of your picture between the "img" tags and it will not be an attachment. Keep in mind, you need to size the photos appropriately for other users.

It looks better than not tinted definitely.

But i think your went a little to dark on the tail light. I personally like a lighter shade tint.

most people use photobucket, its pretty quick and easy.


also get some spacers for the stockers, 9k on here had them with his stocker for a while, really helps make it look flush when lowered.

Damn! That's almost an inch!..... Was it dropped when he installed the spacers? Cus i think 25mm on a 1" drop is a bit much... Not sure though.
