It's the stickers on the windshield! Hey, I don't know what it really is, but if it's not the grille or clear corners (or maybe a wash), I don't see it. Why do an appearance mod that people can't see?

Does look like you polished or put some aluminum somehow on the headlights where people normally paint'em.... then again, I own a T/A so that might be normal

NEW HEADLIGHTS!!! I have done the whole sand/polish thing for a while now and they never have looked like new, plus you have to repolish them pretty regularly to keep the shine. I opted to buy new headlights and I do not believe how much it makes the car look almost new. It's incredible.

How much were the lights? I know I can get halo's off ebay for like $160 a pair or something like that.

They were $250 shipped. I didn't want to go with Halo's because I just didn't like them. It seems everyone that gets replacement lights goes with Halo's and I wanted to go with the more subtle OEM look.

However, the new lights make the car look unreal. It honestly almost has the same impact as new rims.

not sure about the same impact as new rims...pretty sure we could all tell if you got a new set of rims. However the lights do look good.
