Default the whistler mod is finally done!!!

hey what up fellas after days of asking questions on how to do it, i finally did the whistler mod. After everything it kind of turned out ok. i still need to work on the lense cuz its kind of hazy in some parts. I did sand it down with 2000 grit sand paper and finished it with the blue magic product then a little bit of wax cleaner from mcguire. so here are some pics. what do you guys think?

i love the blue magic stuff works beautiful!! but that does not remove the fine scratches! even after using that u can still see the scratches left from the sandpaper. i used the blue magic and the novas and plastic X i also used a buffer on my headlights and a microfiber cloth

I did my headlights with a combo of 600 grit wet-1500 wet-2000-wet than I buffed them out with a rotary buffer and a light cut foam pad with Chemical guys scratch n swirl buff and waxed them.

good job on the headlights. youll notice that over time the lens will get an oil finish on the inside and look hazed. hopefully you dont get that, i did, and im pissed because my headlights had 0 haze before doing the whistler mod.
