Cool. I'm guessing you followed the guide on this site ?
Would you change anything in the guide ?

no, just really look at the light before you tape. you'll probably find your own way to do it

I think I'm going to try it. :D

If you can add anything that isn't in the guide that would be cool

What kinda silicone sealant did you get? If there was moisture in the lights it would suck

Did you mask and paint them the same way as the how-to on here ?

Nice, not sure I'm up for doing this yet. I'm going to be very sore for awhile after lowering my ride this weekend the old fashion way i.e. no air/power tools!

good job on the lights. I already did mine a dark gray color and am soooo glad I did. It makes our cars look way better in pics and in person.

Looks great! Interesting way of masking, you left chrome circles around the headlights and parking lights, left the chrome below the headlight and only masked the reflective portion of the turnsignal. Good job :)
