Getting mine done by IvoryGT. They haven't arrived yet, however my only regret is I forgot to ask him to put on clear turning signal covers. Currently there are no covers covering the turn signals, I hope it doesn't glare out and affect the turning signals too much. I'll have to wait for them to arrive and install them to see how it turns out. I'm not sure if he wants me to state the price that we worked out however I got an awesome deal in my opinion.

Here are some pictures he sent me.

what kind of paint did everyone use? I picked up some Dupicolor universal black but I am not sure if this is what I need. Do I also need a clear coat?
