Your truck looks "BEEFY". Tires and rims are agressive, tint those tails.

I appreciate all the compliments.

Sounds like the consensus is tinting the tails. I'll probably go the VHT Nightshades route for now since I have it already and I want a couple other things first before I go spending a couple hundred dollars on LED tails.

Anybody have have experiences with Nightshades? Good or bad?

tinted tails would look great but be careful with going too dark. I had ones that were pretty dark and I almost got hit a couple times.

I say something like this. A little more subtle.

I like that as well. ^^

That's something I want to avoid. Hopefully a couple light coats will be enough to look good but not enough to get me into trouble.

much better with the smoked. maybe the brake light aslo?

Yes, definitely, I just forgot to do it.

Truck looks awesome dude!

Be careful with VHT...I went darker than I wanted because it doesn't lay down very clean and I had to do an extra coat to even it out:

Thanks for the info. I think I probably want to do this one day when I'm feeling exceptionally patient, plus I'm going to keep the white for the reverse lights so that's just making extra work for myself.

If you don't want to do it yourself, you could take it to a paint shop and have them mix some black and clear coat together and spray them that way
