Well i was tired of the way the front of my car looked so i decided to put a little work into it. Whistler mod, Nightshades for the corners, and a billet grill.

I also cleaned the headlights it was really easy they were really bad before but i would say they are about 90% new looking even the passenger side one which you can see is really bad. I first used blue magic headlight cleaner for about 5 mins on each. Then nailpolish remover and wiped each down good and hard. Then scrubbed each side with a rag that was wet with simple green. Then hand polished with meguiars plastic x. It only took me about 30 mins to clean both. I would try these easy steps before sanding if your headlights are bad.

Very nice change....the headlight treatment looks like it worked perfectly without sanding.

i will have to think about it. How is the paint?

Thanks ya i was surprised how well it turned out. The only thing i forgot to do was wipe off the inside of the lenses before i put them back on. :bang:
