it is a product call v.h.t. night shades it is spray on tail light tint. you can still see most of the light through it. it just makes them look darker. it is what the product is made for.

got the fronts done. will getg pics soon. i also got some rust converter it is supposed to make rust into black primer that you can sand off. so i though why not it will work good on the surface rust on my grill shell and door. well it says paint safe so i sprayed it on and just wiped off the surounding paint. it turned tha paint around the rust wite (it did come off and the paint looks good just took some scrubbing) and it turned the rust white and blue. so instead of making it less work to sand the rust it made it more work to clean it all up before i can sand it down and off. and the weather is lloking like rain again so i cant do my rockers anyway.

they come in black and i was gonna rhino line the exact area they cover anyway. so what do you guys think fix it like stock or go with the guards?

In stead of putting down that much money on those go get. Some 2x5 from the steel yard in either the 3/16 or the 1/4 variety and weld it place of your rockers. Get skids and it looks cleAn

it looks clean and would take care of my rust. looks like this is most likely the way i will go.
