50% Black Candy and 50% Clear Coat and UV Inhibitor. Got to let it sit for a couple of days. Still a tad tacky. On Monday, back to Body Shop for buff and wax and all will be done.

Appreciate the compliment! I'll take some pics tomorrow in the daytime. I didn't do them myself. I don't trust myself. I have some great guys out here that I work with and they do some sick stuff.

Not tint. Painted.

You wax and buff just like you would the rest of your car.

Looks sick MooShoo, The tails are real nice, not too dark is better. And the splash guards do make a huge difference to me even though they are very subtle.

Thanks. I was surprised too at what a difference it made in appearance.

Yes, they come painted. I ended up getting mine OEM from dealership. Never know about the fitment or color when it comes to eBay.

Its not that hard. You have to pull the bottom panel that sits under the steering wheel. Then you unscrew and take off the top panel that sits above the steering wheel. From there, its plug and play.

Not too difficult.

I got mine straight from the dealership. If you know anyone there, they should be able to get you one for $30 plus tax.

I'm not sure yet. I have 10K HI/LOW/FOG setup and I'm not sure I want to block any light. I will do the side markers though on the mirrors.
