Thanks man. I also have a set of stockers that I'm going to do and compare the two.

Those turned out pretty sweet! Did you use clear coat or just polish them? Either way, they look good! :mullet:

Haven't even gotten to that point yet. That's all niteshade right there. I'm actually putting on the first coat of clear right now.

I went a different route from a suggestion from another forum...they turned out pretty good...80% clear mixed with 20% tint...

They are curing now..hope to have them soon

HOLY SHIT BATMAN! Them are dark or it may just be the lighting in the pic. Do those have the stock led lighting? :huh:

They look awesome...how many coats did you put on them?? they look dark as hell

AllThingsEnd · Nov 1, 2008

Wetsanded, cleared, buffed, and polished. Can't wait to get them on tomorrow and get some pics. I'm going to niteshade a set of stockers as well.

Thanks, so do yours man. I'd like to see those installed.

AllThingsEnd · Nov 1, 2008

So I was impatient as always, so I installed them already. Light output doesn't even look that diminished from the niteshades. I think the altezzas do alot better at redirecting the light than the stockers, at least from the pics I've seen on here. We'll see tomorrow when I do the stockers. I'm going to do them the exact same way, same coats and everything just to see how different they are. I'll be selling the stockers after I niteshade them so look out anyone who's lazy.

AllThingsEnd · Nov 2, 2008

Did the stockers. 4 coats of niteshades, but only 3 coats of clear because I ran out. Just waiting till the clear finishes drying and then I'll buff and wax them.

AllThingsEnd · Nov 2, 2008

I think I might need to go back and add some niteshades, they look at bit light still. What do you guys think?

mthandt · Nov 2, 2008

I think they look great,:mullet:
