Does it look good close up? Can you tell it was spray on, or does it just look like the taillights are smokes plastic?

yeh they look really good up close.. a little rough feeling, but thats why you can wetsand them or buff them to make them glossy.. but i havent done that yet and idk if i will because i like how they have a dull black look to them.. idk just me i guess.. well worth the price though.. about 14 dollars for the bottle
