mine look just like urs now, its raining today so prolly no pics today maybe later

how many coats of the tint did u put on my third brake light only took two, but my brake lights took three, looks really awesome especially with the black im contemplating doin my amber turn signals up front, anybody know how the vht light paint reacts on yellow, either that or ill get a set of clear corners off ebay, i want no color on my truck except for black and silver

and thats rediculous that ur buddy has never gotten pulled over, if he was out by me they would get him cause he would look really outa place with a lowered truck, dang commonwealth of va everything is illegal.

My buddys on his truck are darker so I dont have anthing to worry about and I know I put 3 coats on my brake lights but not sure about my third it was either 2 or 3 coats.

Most cops around me are more worried about trying to catch my friends and I on riding atvs on the road or pull us over for no reason and ruin our fun than to do any actual work cause if they did pull him over they would have a stack of paper work to do so its not worth it.
His dd which is the only 90% legal one he has btw he is tucking 26's

He has this one apart right now I dont know when he will get around to putting it back together. Im 6'3 and I cant even sit in it without turning my head sideways.

VT does have a pretty good engineering program. UVA's is even better, but much much harder to get into. If you're looking at any schools in VA, you may also want to check out VCU in Richmond. They have an excellent engineering program as well.
