[QUOTE=FSUsucks1;9286004]Try to find some used OEM used black parts instead of painting them. Will be happier in the long run.

I did my interior the way you are planning on doing yours and the only thing I painted was the dash.

I did remove the entire dash out of the car since I am **** and wanted it done correctly.

There are so many screws to loosen up so if you plan on going that route you are better off removing the entire dash.

Praised her. The new MAF that Gerrb got me (in a damned hurry-thanks again Gerrb) finally made nice with the ECU after a few days. No more TRAC or check engine light. These cars are really so underrated in regards to their toughness. Door panels and center vents and control arm bushings notwithstanding, these are animals.

What did you do and how long did it take? I've been trying to restore headlights for a while now, but I can never get the same results you guys get. I gave in and just bought a new set.

Thanks!! I used mguires heavy duty kit, about $25 at Walmart, spent about 3 hours total on all the front lights


Blkexcoupe: I followed directions on the box clean, mask, wetsand 1000 grit for 35min, clean, then wetsand with 3000 grit for another 25 min, then clean again dry!
After that use cleaner polish with a drill attachment and for about 10 min and then by hand apply uv protector like a wax and done.
Notice I posted the time per each headlight.
Everything supplied in the kit except for the drill.
Wax on wax off and it'll be done, I was amazed how it came out!!

My ds headlight had a little water in it and some condensation, so I was baking today to clean it up and to reseal.
The only time I've ever baked anything in the oven in my entire life and it freaking came out perfect!!
Baking was the easy part, it's the cleaning the old sealer what takes time
Moving on with looking for the right temp sealer to go with now, and back on to the install

I'm not a chef, but I can ****ing bake headlights ��������
