I think it looks great. Never been a fan of any yellow vehicle but this one looks great.

Yes I wasn't a huge fan of the yellow but had to take what I could. it was a good deal when I found it and its my first vehicle I've bought. it has come a long way since I first bought it.

Looks pretty good. Might want to make sure you don't have any laws against blacking out your side markers. I know that the VHT nightshades is a good way to black them out, but it still lets light through when they are on. You could do the side lights and your turn signals to black out all of them.

Yes I'm thinking about using nightshades. This is just a good way to see how I like it without it being permanent. Also the light still shines through them. I did a little too heavy of a coat on them but I did my buddys' tail lights today on his Colorado and it turned out really good.

For your side markers, Plastidip now has a smoke coating that is removable just like the regular stuff.

Thanks. I know about the stuff but I don't like how it looks. I like the regular stuff better.

Honestly I'm not sure. I didn't paint the back sides of the center caps and I didn't do a real heavy job on the center of the wheels because they were already black from when I used regular paint before but tomorrow ill go out and check and let you know of it tore any of it off.
