Glad to see I'm not the only one who felt that way.

I think I'm gonna go for it. I'll start looking to see if I can find better pricing than what I have in the past for mold making materials. It's tricky because my wife lost her job a week ago today, and with the uncertainty, we have to be very careful with what we spend.

The good news is, I still have the old stock tail lights that I removed to work off of for a master copy. I'm going to need to change a few things, but it's do-able. I hear you on the black outs and on the chrome trim. I think the version I recast will be simply transparent red with no trim around the edges.

The chrome might make more sense now that I finally put my exhaust tips on...

Yeah, it looks good on your truck. Mine, I don't want too much chrome. The only chrome I have are the rims and the decals. Everything else is black and blue.
