Default Blackouts Installed

I installed the blackouts from Exotic Corvette and love the look. I have not installed the reverse or 3rd brake lights yet. Just a little nervous about being too dark.

I never thought that. Excellent idea!

What kind of paint did you use?

^ I got gloss black epoxy paint in a spray can (see if you can find it in a normal can) and sprayed it into a cup, then painted it on with a small brush. I used painters tape to tape off my plastic trim around the screens b/c mine are factory and hard to take out. They've help up great. If you use plain black spray paint they'll chip quickly. My sig pic doesn't have them painted.
