Hugger + Whistler and berger
Hugger + Whistler and berger So I finally finished a week long project since my car was getting dropped off at the shop.
I only used the Plast X I got from Walmart on the lights.
As you can see, they were pretty yellow.
After about 5 coats of it, I figure the stuff did a darn good job for a few bucks!! I am gonna try the "Mothers alum wheel and mag cleaner" to finish it up. I don't think they are bad enough any more to go thru the sanding fix.
The whistler went pretty smoothly with the 200 degree thing working exactly like described in the sticky. I did crack a corner a little, so make sure you leave it in the oven the whole time as described.....I got antsy
On the Berger, I washed with dish soap to strip the wax. I wet sanded with pretty find grit so It took some time. I sprayed about 5 coats of flat black followed with about 5 more coats of clear. I see a hairline scratch already. if it does not buff, I will re-do the damn thing since I am ****!!
I also took the time to remove the useless airpump and the foglights.
Cant wait to retake these pix with the slicks on after I get it back from FLP.
Comments welcome.....................

Agreed. I hate the look.
Sounds great. I had to give up my true duals for my suspension.
I may paint that big ol muffler black.

*I will do the muffler next week and post it.
*What is the "full" whistler mod
*I'm gonna try the mag cleaner before I do the sanding. not much yellow left, i think I can pull it off with a little more elbow and some polish
