So far they look great. I've never liked those totally blacked out taillights.
As mentioned before though, better lighting would be great. Take some pictures outside.

Smoked tails FTL! At least they're not too dark.

what's the point of taking it to the shop to get clear coat? might as well let them do the entire job. a waste of 3 days if you ask me.

the shop was only one day. the total job was about 3 days to let the paint fully dry and it was a weekend so the shop was closed until monday and they have been sitting in the garage since I carpool to work and didnt need to install them right away.
