Looks Good. I bought the Projektorz covers but i dont like the way they sit on it. Can u use that nite shade paint to paint the entire headlight or will not enough light come through? how did u get the lines so nice and circular?

Hey what do the covers look like? I'm interested in doing SOMETHING to my truck but am so confused on where to start. I thought i was going to do an exhaust system but that deal didn't happen. I thought about headlight and tail light covers but haven't really looked into it. The painting sounds and looks really good!!
