Tires look awesome. Love it. If you're thinking about keeping the eyelids black, you may get some black paint and hit 'em a few times just to get rid of that little bit of bleeding you've got. Otherwise you did a great job. Everything looks good!!!!!

yeah i was thinking that. i have three coats of the vht nightshades on right now. maybe ill take em off and put a few more coats on. i also looked into color matching them and went to the dupli-color site and of course they dont make my paint color. i emailed them and they said they dont and gave me another site to go to which does carry it but it was expensive. ill prob keep them black. im also debating tinting the tails and the 3rd brake light. maybe just one coat on them so theyre not too dark.

jk the truck looks very nice !!!

The night shades are designed to bleed light! The other day when yall were talking about this, I could not figure out why you would not use a primer or just black paint instead of night shades for the eye lids if you did not want light to come through? Black paint is cheaper, and it is not transparent!
