Looks nice man, i actually reckon tinting the clear indicator part was a good choice, seems to tie in better with the gunmetal grey paint as it looks similar in colour

Yeah im in the middle of it now actually, did the side repeaters as a test, gonna be getting some clear ones off a Fairlane/LTD so might as well give it a go.. Also got a spare tail light that was cracked so tried it on that and it actually looks quite good, makes the red part look like a dark cherry red colour so it'll do for now just hope it doesnt fade cause it has a nice gloss
