I think this is what I'm going to do to my tails:

1. Tape off the two circular parts
2. Spray 2 coats
3. Remove all tape
4. Re-Tape the clear plastic, and put the dodge ram logo on the top circle
5. Spray 1 more coat
6. Clear-coat

That way, it will all be tinted with a little tint on the circular area but a clear dodge ram logo and a clear reverse light.

az2500, I haven't heard of anybody doing their grille with this. I would imagine it would work and look good, especially on your truck! BUT, I am not a paint expert and am not 100% sure it would work. Let me know if you do it, I'd like to see it!

Those look great mmstar!!!

I screwed mine up. I tried to use polishing compound and it just made it worse! #$$^*^!!!! I hate how it's not shiny and I may have to redo one. Maybe just one coat...DAMN!

Oh yeah...I tried to take a picture of the light at night, but you can't see the ram logo...

Go with option 2!!! those are ****ing sick........I have an 07, and this model has a different tail light than earlier models, I havent jsut figured this out, Im sure everyone know this by now. but the light resembles the tail light of a jeep.........anyways, the tail light look ****ing sick......just my two cents
