Looks good, I recently did the whistler on mine, and realized my lenses were toast...I spent 2 days about 8 hours sanding and polishing by hand...didnt get results even close to that..maybe I should use a drill? I used a product called Blue Magic..maybe it sucks...what grit paper/polisher did you use?

plastic lenses all u need is baking soda and a little bit of water to form a paste then buff.. works great and costs pennies. Glass lenses use a toothpaste/water mix
