Thanks hun...yeah, I think the clear may be a lil cloudy because it's kinda humid. Either way, I'm gonna see if I can get Laura at work to buff 'em out when they're fully cured. Thanks again for the clear my dear! It's truely awesome stuff!
Now I just gotta do my 3rd tail and side markers...

I did just as Crystal's how-to on tinting tails suggested. I used 4 wet coats of VHT NiteShades and 3 wet coats of U-POL Clear #1. Here's the link:

LoL! I know...I was gonna do the 3rd brake light today, but I didn't feel like taking the trunk lid carpet down. It will be done though, as well as the side markers a lil bit too.

Don't tint the brake light black. Paint it with two or three light coats of Mopar PS2. The light will still shine plenty bright through it and it won't stand out like a sore thumb.

I really like the colormatched third brake like the ones someone was selling here before. Like the one that is on my car. That stuff would look hot on Nadiya, Brodie...

Thanks man! I'm sure I could have gotten them as smooth as yours if I had a body shop clear coat them for me, but I went ahead and did them myself. They are just fine for now. I'll probably get them better next year.

Looks good, but I think it might be too dark.... Not that much light output.

It looks much better in person...I stood outside of the car with the blinkers on, and it's definately noticeable. If you have the marker lights on (1st position on the light switch) and the tails are on with the blinkers, it's harder to notice the turn signals, but the brake lights/turn signals are definately visible. I'd make a video of it, but my cam's battery is dead
