Had some free time during the week here and it was super nice out so i decided to "black out " my bumper lenses. I'm not too sure if i like it or not ? So eventually im going to swap them out with clears. But they are growing on me so we'll see
What do you think ?

I tinted them with 3 light coats of VHT nightshade and then did 4 coats of Instant Clearcoat over top to try and even out the texture. Light still shines through and its better that the orange![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
On a side note, i got a little present in the mail i think you guys might appreciate! Something to pass the time when its raining outside and i cannot work on the Celsior .

I'll try and snap some when its not raining one of these nights
The weather sucks hard right now... It was sunny yesterday so i washed her, then it just pours like crazy all day today![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Im debating whether i should try doing the tails like this...But only one coat of VHT. I can't bring myself to ruin them though. So maybe if i can find a used set cheap at a junkyard I'll try it out. The reverse light is its own seperate peice so i would mask that off when i smoke the rest. I did it on my civic and it actually looked pretty good,
