Gorgeous Chicago Day - **PICS**

I had the day off work, so what better way to spend my day than washing my car and taking some nice pics by the lake...

Oh, and i finally replaced my amber rear turn signals w/ the chrome (amber light) bulbs.





Notice the ducks in the next couple pics:

Looks great! Glad you got those rear bulbs changed. I really like the blacked out HID housings. I cleared my HID's before anyone had thought about painting them. I'd have to open them again....grrrr

Thanks guys! Yea, i'm def thinking about getting the smoked out clears.
It's not available for the rears yet, is it?
Once it is i'm all over it.

Slamnasty - i was using my Canon Powershot S410. It's a great little camera.

The DIY for the corners is pretty easy. I did mine last fall. Really looks good on a black Max. The front smoked ones that you can buy are not dark enough IMO.

Yea, i was thinking that they weren't dark enough too.
You used a few coats of Nightshades, right?
Is it easier to spray the stock or the clear corners?

I sprayed my OEM corners because I didn't want to experimemt with my clears. They turned out well. I used 3 coats of Night Shades. 2 coats would most likely work, too. 3 might be too dark for some.

I've got 20% on the rear and 35% up the sides.

Thanks blues, i'll prob use the OEM's too because i've got condensation in one of my clears.
