Well LED tails looked a little to bright on the truck and I lost my cruise when they were on so I picked up some load resistors to fix cruise and lightly tinted them.
Here's before

And after light tint, keep in mind this is inside pic so there not as dark

Should I lightly smoke the reverse light so they don't stick out as much?

Looks good, basically the same as the tinted version that they sell as well. I have them and love em! I would say tint the reverse light as well but that's just me, depends how much they really dim or if you even care if you can see when reversing lol.

What kind of paint are you using?

I brushed them on with duplicolor paint kit from Advanced. I would use a different brush though. The one they give you falls apart. I like doing it that way so I can leave them in and touch them up whenever. No problems with chipping since its enamel I just wanted a fresh coat. They hadnt been painted in about 4 yrs.

Ya trust me this is way easier and when it dries it's such a solid paint. Just take your time doing it and clean em up real good before you start. The first coat or 2 will be pretty light so don't get discouraged. After those dry and you start on the other coats it will fill in nicely. They have it in several colors I can't remember if I got it at Advanced or Autozone but it was less than $20 and will probably do 4+ cars with the paint they give you.

Got the new quick stops on! 4 new rotors, creamic pads and a set of e-brake shoes. FYI all: if your looking on ebay, I found the full set-up cheaper in pieces than in a full package.

I noticed that as well. I had a set of pads & slotted/drilled front rotors on my watch list for months at less than $90 shipped, but when I went to buy them, I noticed that all the prices have gone way up. What did you get your fronts for?



cleaned the SHIT out of it. Inside and out.
