Yesterday, I added eyelids for the headlights:

and smoked my taillights:

turned out pretty cool

 

first let me say it looks good. how did you do that on the front and the back. Second let me say how jealous i am that you have two magnums in the driveway. Are they both RTs?

 

Looks Hot, That what I want to end up doing to mine when I get it, Total black out, even the wheels, thought I am thinking about going with the shaker hood.

Nice clean sharp looking car you got there.

grinner, Looks great, did you use spray tint?

 

thank you guys.
Chris, yeah those are both RTs. After I got mine, my bride decided she wanted one as well. I bought more than a car for her though. It totally scored me the right to fix up my ride without ever hearing a negative word about it. It'll be fun to pimp em both out and go to shows as a family. I'll have one display for both rides. She's goin for a whole different vibe with hers. It's great having two because it makes trouble-shooting any probs or planning mods twice as easy as I now have a reference to go back to.

On the front, I masked off what I wanted, then sanded it with 400 grit, primed it and sprayed it black. If you have a different color, you can give your paint code to a paint store like Napa and have em put it in a spray can for you. I've used these many times and they have great tips, making it easy to bust out some show quality paint.
On the back, I wet sanded em with 400 grint, oversprayed metallic black then clear coated the dawg out of em.
I got a sag in one light that I have to fix and got some overspray on my back bumper as I did not remove the lights to do this... just masked em off.
I learned not to go painting on my ride while drinkin whiskey.

Vegas, I didn't use spray tint. I've never found a spray tint that was worth a flip.
I used spray paint. Metallic black rustolium on the back with a polyurithane clear coat (well, 3 clear coats) and I used a durable chip resistant black high gloss spray paint on the front. Id would blow if it chipped (those headlights cost me 650 bucks from the dealer) so I made sure I sanded and primed em well.

Using the method described, how's visibility from the rear? I just can't see how this can meet DMV code in any state... Of course, as with a related thread on another post, there's a difference in meeting code and getting caught and/or causing an accident. Normally, even in states where enforcement is lax if there's an accident one can find themselves on the wrong side of the law or on the wrong side of a civil case... or both. I just don't see how this method is legal OR safe.

 

looks fine.
Dunno how leagal it is.
Sure looks cool though.

 

looks very good
