Thanks guys.. Rvarner I used your hypertech install for my guide. I installed the controller in the same spot. Might look at the fuse box this weekend though. I also just ordered the catch can

yes for me Dodge missed the mark not tinting the tails on the blacktop addition. Also would have loved to see black emblems..

I got them off ebay for like 18 shipped. I think I will eventually by the gorilla ones though. These have the same seat as stock but smaller at 3/4". They have no lip like the stocks so with these smaller ones inside the rim they did not spray it black. So the gorrila's will fill the wheel holes up like the stock and you will not be able to see any unpainted silver,,,

What gauge sandpaper did you use??? Love the black with the black by the way. I've only got 1300 miles and already a Volant, Avery clear bra and mud flaps. This is going to be an expensive forum to visit, and you're no help, ha ha

I used lamin x smoke tint. It really was a pita to do the first one but the other 3 turned out great. Going to see if the first one turns out ok after a few days. If not ill order 1 piece instead of the 4. I found it to be easier with more heat from the blow dryer. There r some vids on YouTube showing it also. This was the first time I ever did anything like this. On my other vehicles I always bought tinted tails direct replacements.

Clear was finished about 3 hrs ago. It's looking awesome. With the light reflective silver decals it should really pop.
