Looks good.
My son and I are in the middle of restoring his 97 Dak. It's a red sport and we already have the flares painted black like yours. Kind of funny we painted the rear diff. cover red like yours too and the tranny cover (for the mechanic to see). We have a new front bumper and grill all getting done black as well as the lower plastic bumper cover. Already blacked the rear bumper. We're doing the rocker panels black from the centerline of the groove down. Have aftermarket smoked headlights ready to go too once all the sparying is done. We're about a day away from Primer and should have it all done in a week or so.

Well...they look better in person =P I always contemplated on getting some kind of smoked version of the clear corners...I don't think I have ever found any, haven't really checked. The niteshade works well, though!

These are the ones we bought. Not in the truck yet, shooting primer today. Looks like the kid is going with a Hotrod black from Kirker all over now, instead of the red and black paint job.

Here is a nice set too but too much for the kids wallet.

haha just messing with ya seems like everybody goes with the clear corners, i just wanted somthing different.

i like the first headlights better, but i've heard the 1 piece's need some adjusting to make fit right.

i got more black on the front now. the fog lights took 3 coats to cover. first coat was a cool shade of blue.
