Tino and JTJ, I used a Nikon D70 digital SLR with a UV filter and upgraded firmware.

I'm on the fence when it comes to blackouts.

Are the Black Cherry different than his usual Blackout lenses? I too have the fronts, and really like them much better than the plastic covers. I still like the look of the red/amber lenses for the rear, and Jim's comment about the NJSP just reinforces that opinion. Richard really does great work at a very fair price.
BTW Welcome back, Ed.

The black cherry versions are a bit lighter than his usual full-on blackouts. I don't know if you can tell by comparing the photos below, but I can tell the difference based on the blackouts I'm used to seeing on other cars.
Here's Richard's description of the difference.
"These would be the lightest tint of black outs that we produce. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to have the differences in these tints show up in photos. However our "Medium Red" would be best described as dark red lenses that are clearly distinguishable as being dark red. Our "Dark Red" treatment is a very dark red that can only be distinguished as having red in them, while in direct sunlight. And then of course our treatment that we term as black, is solid black until lighted."
Richard's regular blackouts.
The picture of mine that I posted earlier.
