That is...very dark to say the least. I think that those only look good on WWP and BB, I thought about doing this to my VR, but I wouldnt go that dark.

Looks nice.

I did mine with VHT night shades, around 5 coats and some 1000 grit sand paper. I tried an overlay but it tore while I was applying it.

Take care,

Brian

I agree you can go toooo dark. However 5 layers of VHT nightshades passed the "wife" test. I had her drive behind me, around 10 car lengths, she stated she could easily see the brake lights and running lights.

My friends are saying I should do my headlights but that is where I feel the gray area begins on safety.

I am doing my side lights hopefully this weekend if I get time.

Take care,

Brian

Nuke, what did you use on your bumper lense? Is the lense the stock amber one or a clear one?

Looks like you used a triple stage of polishing to get them to look so wet and glossy.
