wow...240k. I can barely keep the same car for 2-3 years, so it's nice to know that these have a little longevity. Since this is my wife's car ('11 350C), she generally trades out after 5-6 years. However, she says that this is her last car! yeah, right...
Any tips on how you avoided any significant hazing/crazing/fogging/sandblasting of your headlights? Almost every car I've seen had nearly opaque headlight lenses before ever hitting six-digit mileage. I've got film on mine, but I anticipate having to replace that every two years or so.

Just a lot of car washes. I mean a lot. The headlights are pretty beat up by rock chips but it still looks pretty decent. Let me put it for you this way, I fell in love with the IS since I saw the first commercial for the IS300 in 2000. When I got this car on August 21, 2006 I literally went in OCD mode for a good while. My wife used to wake up in the middle of the night and find me in the garage polishing the wheels.
I just can't stand how rough Hondas are in idle. My family has about 5 Honda/Acura and to be honest they all drive the same. Unless its a V6, then it runs slightly smoother but thats my only complaint for Honda.
If you don't maintain the ignition system on a honda they tend to do that. My integra has all OEM items inside the distributor and it idles at 800 rpm even with the a/c on.

Before I bought my car I test drove a brand new S2000 and it was the same thing in idle. Maybe I am asking for too much when a car is idling at a stop light.

You need to spray Aerospace 303 protectant on your headlights. The 303 has a UV protectant in it that will help protect your headlights from becoming foggy.
