How many coats of Night Shades on the tail lights? Did you do it on the outside of the lens or did you disassemble the and spray it from the inside?

Looks good!

i used
Rust-Oleum (Lens Tint) -Custom Shop-
Rust-Oleum (Acrylic Enamel) -Crystal Clear-

just a heads up, be patient, light coats and allow the coats to dry completely before applying another coat. Also make 100% sure the tint is fully dry before you clear it, because the clear will cause the tint to thin if it's not completely dry. my neighbor was a little impatient, and his ran a bit...

That exhaust sounds sick! Did you do all the mods yourself or have a shop do it?

I am a do it myself kind guy, the only thing I will pay others for is when I re-gear the truck to a 4.56... But just a heads up, by no account were the headers an easy task; the driver’s side is fairly simple, but the passenger side required the engine to be lifted, but top to bottom it took 2 dudes (My neighbor and I) roughly 6-7 hours, I'm sure if we were to do it again, it would be faster, but the instructions that came with the kit were fair vague, and trial and error played a part of the amount of time...
