Blacked Out...Even More (updated photos)

Tommudd- that's a great idea!

The reason I didnt do black turn signals in front is I feel like the front in has the silver bumper and all the other lenses brighten it up. So to keep it consistant with that in the front I did clear rather than black. But in the back everything is pretty dark, except for the ugly "beautiful ohio" plate.

As for the accident issue...I'll just have to be a little more cautious about the drivers behind me...no biggie :lol:

They are good , I buy a set for my girlfriend car and she have only good thing to say about it , they sell good trailer tires too (857) I realy like the KL78 but I cant buy it because we got a new law here! To ride tires 4 saison we need the little montain sign with a snow flake in (M+S) They dont have it. Next choice goes to Goodyear silent armor but they are a bit expensive...

Kumos and Maxxis or the only Korean tires maker I'm not affraid to put under my camping trailer, they outperform the most popular seller Goodyear Marathon.

Thanks for the information. I thought about buying a set of BFG KM2s off Tirerack.com
I currently run them on my Liberty and I really like them. Just not looking forward to throwing $800+ in tires plus the take-off/mount/balance/new valve stem fees.

See, there you go....Tom's head is already too big and you are helping make it bigger :goink:

Gotta love the "have to have" front plate.

I believe in Ohio, law is brake light must be seen for 500 feet.

if you are getting the gg at2s go with 245/75 16's and I got mine from discounttiredirect.com for less than $500 for 5 shipped to my house! I am in no way affiliated with them, just wanting to pass some hopeful good news along.

Honestly I dont see how $500 is possible. The cheapest I can find is $825ish. How long ago did you buy them?

I got mine almost a year ago. I still dont see them that cheap now.

It looks like they need some clear.

i did my ninja turn signals with night shade then sprayed shiny clear on them and it look GREAT!
i did my jeep tail lights with night shade then sprayed it with flat clear and they look GREAT!
:lol:

I've done 7 sets of lights with Nite Shades over the last 12-15 years and have never sprayed clear on any of them, wax them 5 or 6 times a year ( along with the rest of whatever the vehicle is and they're good to go

2006 KJ · **Posted:** Sun Aug 21, 2011 11:22 am

but with clear you never have to wax them.. and they always look perfect :lol:

flat.

shiny

btw 2006.. you're a ****'er

I'm considering sending my paint back for a different color now..

brettacuff · **Posted:** Sun Aug 21, 2011 5:05 pm

2006 KJ- I think that my tail lights look exactly like yours. I don't see a difference in using clear over them. And by the way your KJ is killer!

So Spade Kreations was running a sale. I originally had my front windows tinted by them at 20% for $50. Well this weekend I went up there and they did the whole thing at 5% (limo tint) for $200. What do you think?

Before at 20%:

After:

Only downfall: reversing at night is dang near imossible...Oh well!

gtommec · **Posted:** Sun Aug 28, 2011 8:30 pm

That is exactly what mine is (5% overtop of 18%):

Are you an Aerosmith fan?

Aerosmith fan, heck yeah I am! Actually its 20% on top of 18%. It matches to the 5% on the driver windows.
