Thanks guys, nice to finally hear some feedback after all the work we've done. We kind of wanted to make it look like Dodge should have built it. Hey, CMil527 (awesome ride by the way!) ,the LEDs are from Amazon, they are cheap, and i just cut the tips off the lights to fit into the grille inserts, which fit the curve nice, then the tricky part was getting them hooked to power, since i am a Chrysler tech, i knew the only true "Ignition Feed" is the power outlet inside, so thats where i put them on a switch. Also, the fender stipes are just Red vinyl (factory Challenger) and the wheels are all paint, no stickers. The tails, i took out, sanded with 600, mixed up some clear, and mixed black base until i got the tint i wanted, then sprayed, then sanded and buffed, i couldnt go too dark, i live in Virginia, aweful "improper-equipment" laws.

While I am waiting on pics of yours, I'm going to do the same. Local guy here will do them all for $160 front and back with fogs too. He uses Oracl laminate, easier for conforming he said. He also does the clear bras with XPEL ULTIMATE, may look into that too depending on cost, get at least bumper done.

Hi Brandt, can U take 2 more pix of your truck from head on, wide angle showing the full face. 1 w/ the led's on & 1 w/ the led's off? i had been considering putting those lights in that spot but didnt know how it would look.

They are, but was thinking about front and fogs, but I used headlight armour and could have done a better job around bottom, so was contemplating a redo.
