Took the top and doors off and enjoyed the weather. Couldn't hear the exhaust though, so I had a Magnaflow exhaust installed. Its a little louder than I planned; well actually, the volume is good, but the engine is nothing special to listen too. Over all I think its better though.

 

The light still comes through them, and if you shine light they are reflective. I would say they are 20% darker, the light itself when breaking or markers. I used NVT NightShades 3 coats with 20 minutes between coats then 5 coats of clear with 20 minutes between coats. Then wet sand with 2000 and hand glaze. They look good like that.
