And a side note, do they make headlight blackouts for the 06-08 rams?

Yes sir these are avs headlight covers, I know they make them for your guys' trucks they are permanent in the winter for me though, plastic is way too brittle to bend off, the are really securely fastened though

Nice...A tip from someone who has done custom paint jobs :

NEVER use a laser level. Use body lines. A laser level is for a 2 dimensional surface. The surface of the truck is 3 dimensional. It has a slight curve along the whole truck making it look off at that angle. You should have stopped on the crease. Look at where weed's two-tone stops. The next body line up is right above the headlight and crosses the doors at the handles. If you want to split it, pull one straight piece of tape. Stick it on one end and pull it tight and then lay the line down across the whole body in one motion to create straight lines. Curves are a little more difficult but use the same principle.

thanks for the tip! Im not at all dissapointed in how it turned out, i liked it a little above the bodyline anyways. I aslo used the laser sighted to counterbalance with the rake of the truck so its a true straight line atleast. Im just baffled at why in the pic it looks like it dips down in this pic, i can go outside and look at it and lay a straight edge across the lane and there wont be a dip. must be magic. thanks though i'm in my 2nd year of college autobody, its half my day before actual high school, and Ive been accepted in for another 2 years full time. I love doing custom work such as this and will continue learning!
