Hey guys, I ran into a little computer trouble. I will try to post a night pic tonight. I also want to take some polishing compound to the light, they're not as shiny as I would like...

meguiars plast-x works great. for the leveling kit...i did it myself.....some work involved but look at the DIY on here....it worked great for me. id do it myself its nota big deal...just take your time with it. if you get a 3" body lift it will work fine...thats what i have 3" body and 2.5" level. but if you go with a 3" suspension thers no need for your leveling kit since a suspension kit levels your truck anyways.

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...

Yeah I follows that video this morning. The only issue I am having is that rubbing compound. That's why I never liked wetsanding after a clear coat. Now there is some light hazing even after the compound. Not sure if it makes a difference but I used the meguiars rubbing compound in a jar rather than that ultimate compound. What gives? I put so much effort and time into it. It looked like glass until I went outside and BAM. Light haze still. Errrr

I did mine and I didnt use rubbing compound. I hit it with 600, then 2000, then VHT, then clear.
