Default Detail + whistler mod

Had some free time today and decided to re finish my headlights and do a detail

The key to getting the headlights back to clear is to grind off the tabs on the clear housing. Once the tabs are gone you can get a nice even surface to sand

My process was lots of 320 grit sanding, followed by 600 grit then 2000 grit then 5 coats of clear. Sand with 320 till you get all of the specs and imperfections out

Let me know what you think

Looks good. I'd love to get those results out of trying to clear up some headlights.

Thanks for the compliments, the seats are corbeau cr1's.

I have 4 sets of wheels at the house, I'm getting kind of bored with the black 17x11's and thinking of going back to chrome

Legacy and Custer at the closed down KFC is where I took the pictures

I really like the dark, sinister look with the all black ZR1's and the whistlered head lights!
