Well if you dont want those, you could always send them to me... 
I think they look good. But they dont look to shiny to me.. I dont know they look kinda dull.. I dont know why I think that..
But anyways they look good! I really need to get myself 2 cans of that stuff..

they are shiny, but i think they need a wetsand to smooth them out and then another few coats of clear. However I don't have a wetsander or the know how to use one. But for a quick job they turned out pretty nice.
P.S. I might do another set in the near future and mask off the black lines in between the different color lights.

They look pretty dull in the pics, mine seem more shiny than that, but hell I definitely didn't go as dark as you did. 
I had enough left over to do my rear reflectors and turn signals in addition to the tail lights. Looks good, maybe a little more clear coat. you dont need a wetsander to wet sand, you take a really fine wet/dry sandpaper and dip it in water and then sand.. It's REALLY quite easy, just be sure and use a really fine grit so it doesn't scratch it all up or go too deep. In any case, yas learning and it still looks pretty **** good! :thumbsup:

Well, I don't like the look of blackouts and I have a set of stock taillights if i ever change my mind. But for now I like the look, it looks real nice in person.
EDIT: They look really dark but they still light up great.

But i do think that i will use that stuff to do my side markers due to the fact that they dont make blackouts for them...lol

blackouts look like afterthoughts kinda like someone said oh **** we forgot lights and threw them on, those are dark mine are shiny and I didn't clear them, the dulling is probably from too thick a coating
