you go to a site called andysautosports.com and they have smoked, clear,white, and blacked out tailights and both headligth and taillight covers. for pretty cheap. they also sell custom headligths.

i just checked out that website, not too bad.
They a few different carriers for front and rear kits (including the razzi) IMO reasonable price.

Dont know the quality of the others, like i said the one i have heard of is Razzi lol.

Brock, is 5 shades too much...almost like your Sig pic? I see you're breaking but no light? lol JK,well soon he will post pics i want to see how it looks.
I personally will get the covers, no paint in case i get pulled over for them and have to switch i dont want to spend the extra cash for another pair. play it safe.
