I am also in the process of doing this to mine. I shaved all the marker lignts and emblems off already and it looks pretty sweet. Go to wildhorses website and there is a link on the home page that has a murdered black bronco and a sweet orange one.

The engine pics do not appear to be a bronco engine compartment for the black one. that and it appears to be a big block.

Nice looking murdered out truck.

Have you thought about how you'd treat the headlights? All black with bright lights kinda misses the point. I've tried to tint my lights but it ended up purple and looked like crap. It would be cool if GTS made blackouts for the 7" headlights.

I'm guessing the light you painted was a red marker light? The reason you got a cast of purple on your light is because you probably used a blue black. You need a straight black. The blue in the black and the red light = a purple light:(

To smoke lights you sand them with 1000 wet sandpaper. Then get some clear and some single stage pure black. For the headlights you might need a 1:1 ratio of clear and single stage to get it dark enough. For the marker light you just use a very small amount of single stage in the clear to smoke them.

It's murdered out except for the bling 17's. Body is flat black, cage and tubework are gloss black. More pix of it here.
