Default Project: Blackout - COMPLETE

Just put the finishing touches on my "Project: Blackout"
Painted the wheels! I used Plasti-Dip spray paint. No sanding or primer, just a good wash and degreased, then sprayed away. I LOVE the new look! I may be looking for something a little more permanent down the road, but this will hold me over until then.

On to the Pics!





** I know, I know, I need to get the front windows tinted BAD! after over $400 in tint violation tickets, I finally gave up and removed them....damn State Trooper!

You can still black out more Like tint those fog lights, get some nice hid's in them, then tint them. The headlights are already nightrunner headlights so your good there, but your taillights look like they could use some nightshades if you arent going to get new black smoke led taillights... just a thought. Which probably means you could do the same for your 3rd brake light. Just throwing some ideas out there hehehe.

I've thought about tinting the fogs, I tinted the Hellas behind the grill already (bet ya couldn't even see them)


The tailights are already tinted with nightshades. I've got a second set I may tint darker? (and they do look darker in person)

I'm way ahead of ya

Thought about this too. I am one of the few that actually likes the amber strip. Call me weird, but I think it breaks up the black just a little. Same with the badge on the grille. But I may shoot it with some Plasti-dip to see what it looks like, and if I don't like it, just peel it all off?

Check the last line in my original post, under the last picture
I'm already looking into getting that done.
