Does so much for the front of the car, doesn't it? Between that and the clear corners, the front of that car is going to look great.

Oh, and Missouri weather... yeah.

it was really easy, taking the headlights off is just one bolt on each, putting headlights in the oven did feel a lil weird but after u heat them at 200 degreed for about 10-15 mins, seperate the lense and light assembly with a butter knife, i took my time and it wasnt hard at all, no cracking or anything, the only part that sucked was masking the non painted parts off, heres a write up that i followed http://www.cardomain.com/ride/224386/2 make sure u scuff the painted surfaces with steel wool or the paint will peel, i used high temp gloss black engine enamel paint from advanced auto parts i also took the side molding off and removed the antenna if u noticed, def worth doing

If you dont mind, when the weather clears up take some more pics of the !molding.

Looks good. Really a subtle mod for black, but it still flows nice.
