I love the sound of a v8 with a exhaust, my 2j nat was fun, doesn't beat the sound of a rumbling v8, slow but nice

My headlights wasnt that bad in the first place, Idk, how hazy your headlights are, maybe a wet sand could help too, use 2000 then go finer, then polish them

its my is300 that are the issue at the moment. wet sanding maybe the best option for me to fix the condition it is in currently.
