    sorry what i meant to say was, when the stock hood is closed it looks as though it sits flush with the headlights. with the evil eyes, they sit on top but the flow of the hood is not altered at all. do you have a close up pic of the lights and hood to see the gap between them?

    Where did you get your smoked turn signals? I was looking for a set.
    i think 3sx used to sell them. either way, if you do a proper wet-sand & clear-coat overtop of nightshades...the end result is superlative.

    Or since you need to use real clear out of a gun to make it worth your while and have long lasting results you just mix in a little black with your clear and bypass nightshades all together.

    ...if you can mix it in the right amount that will still pass inspection/safety.

    Right, Inspection. Whatever that is, we dont have it here, but if you care about that sort of thing, you will have more problems doing that with nightshades, it lets less light through than clear with black in it. In my case we used a junk tail light out of a dumpster at the body shop to practice on, guess not everyone has that luxury.

    i never thought about mixing clear with some black to tint the lights.
    ive used nightshade many times, i usually get a good finish. what i think would look hot, is to strip the tails all together and paint the inside of them black so its a black backing but red bulbs or LED like this:
