i like the first set of tails better.

id say paint parts of your dash red and yes krylon works just fine. i painted parts of mine black last week and blackoutv6 actually did his whole dash black with it.

A painted red interior might be a little over kill. Check out http://www.patterntek.com/ They've done work for GatorCrew (iirc) and I've been thinking about using them at some point.

A red carbon fiber might fit your truck well. This is the only pic I could find on their site...

The euro ones that I photoshopped onto my truck, or in the last post? Because the $72 taillights look like the ones I photoshopped onto my truck.

As for the red carbon fiber, good idea, buy, I think the stitching pattern looks to big.

Alright, yeah the LEDs are expensive, so I think I'll just get the $79 pair and call it good, since they look just like the euro's. As for the lightning headlights I still can't find smoked lightning headlights.

Did you look at their website? They've got several different carbon fiber patterns.

NCSU, yeah just afraid I won't be able to get other Caron fiber to match.

Jake, must say you're awesome with the help. I think I'll wait for the smoked headlights and get the smoked euro headlights for $79. Or is it better to stick with lightning taillights?

What other carbon fiber? They can cover pretty much anything in, or on, your truck.

Red, I agree with you, but, maybe it would look better with a different pattern.

Just did this to my truck, thanks to Jake for the help!



That's just the passenger side door, I'll be doing the other door and headlight switch tomorrow or so.

^those are the ones i have. VERY GOOD quality lights. i like them best out of all the ones you posted. but im probably a little biased :o

btw thanks for complimenting my truck ha

i think my truck still sits like a 'truck'
my roof is the same height as a Nissan Frontier
your switches look great BTW! i wish my truck was an STX.

Thanks Jake!

Blackedoutv6, I guess I like them, but, I'd love to get both taillights and headlights smoked.

And thanks, it was a pain to figure our which is negative/positive on the switches (but, then again I'm new to this crap, so that might not even matter).
