Very nice. I got picked up the other day for having tinted tail lights only got a warning though. I don't think I'll do anything about them. They are pretty light and I've been pulled over a few times and it's never been mentioned before.

well did another little mod today while I wait for my other tails to come in since I think I overdid it with the tint anyway in the meantime I put this on and I've always wanted one anyway its a 60" LED tailgate bar that blinks with my blinkers I didn't get the more expensive one that also has white LEDs that light up when you back up since I was worried about it getting wet and how long it'd last hoping I have no problems though.

I think I went a lil overboard witht he spray somehow I only put on two layers and after I did the first I sanded the imperfections out and then did a 2nd coat, then I sanded that very very lightly and put clear on them and they are wayyyyy dull at night I'll upload some more pics in a min. I picked up a cheap pair of tails lights I think they were called diamond cut LED lookalikes idk forgot but I'll upload some pics. I was worried and would rather not have someone rearend me and Use the titned lights as an excuse.

First pic is just to show the rhino lining on the side, second pic is off the lights on without pressing the brakes, and the third pic is with the brakes on. Both night pics are after the 2nd coat of tail light lens tint. I'll also try and get pics of my LED light bar tonight

DO IT!!! just make sure you get the bigger one... i see too many fullsize trucks with the tiny 49" strip ment for a ranger or S10.

edit-- guess i shoulda finished reading your thread, lol. the truck looks great man! as for the durability, my first LED strip lasted almost two years untill it got cought on a big splinter of firewood and cracked the caseing, so i bought another, both made by "rampage".
