Talking Like New Again!!

So I finally got my car fixed last week, took me almost 2 months to have it done, like some of you know, someone decided to use it as a parking spot, rammed in it and just took off!! Anyways she is done, my friend matched the color perfectly, since it's not the oem paint. Anyways here is a pic before and after. Am just happy to have her back!!

BEFORE


AFTER

Oh yeah, I did photoshope them, forgot to also ask what do you guys think if I tinted them?
I have two sets of corners so even if I mess em up it won't be a loss, they will probably be darker tho. I have the spray tint and all.

Thanks bro!! Blacked out housing makes such a huge difference to the overall look, especially ona black one :-) Am also thinking of maybe spraying the exterior of the lense with the tint spray. Just did my clear corners, they look great, just run out of the clear coat so need to get that before I put them on, otherwise they will have that mat finish I hate. SO 2 layers of clear coat shoudl bring back the shine.

and if you want to mount your plate like mine, I used two L-brackets, instead of teh standard plate bracket. I bent my plate a bit to follow the car's line ... If you get all that done, def post some pix!!
