Agreed on both accounts--------my car right now is bone stock aside from some 20 inch chromes and i am seriously debating on whether or not to get a body kit.
I have a feeling that I will just lower the car a bit------tint the windows-----remove spoiler and call it a day---------I like the clean look as well.
Thanks for sharing.

Can you please tell me how you refinished the lenses exactly.
How did you get the apart first of all and how did you get them back together is my main question---I pretty much know how to refinish them ---i think lol------sand with a high grit like a 1000 or 1500 and than coat with a plastic clear coat .
Thanks man.

After all of that I clean off everything and a coat of Meguirs Nxt Tech 2.0 wax. I also use some baby oil on top of the wax to enhance the shine and clarity of the headlights.

Once apart, I cleaned everything and wet sanded the exterior part of the lense with 1500 then 2000. Very important that you use soapy water and sand horizontally, no vertical motion or circular motion, only sideways.
Next, I used Plasti-X on both sides of the lens. Buffed everything clean and applied a coat of wax on the inside, buffed and made sure there wasn't any remaining residue.
I used Permatex 16B (black in color) to seal the assembly back together. Run a bead all the way around the crease and place the lens back into position. From there use your finger to smooth any excess that gets pushed out. Make sure you use enough to ensure a good seal; I used a bead that was around a diameter of 1/8 - 3/16 of an inch.
Use masking tape to wrap the assembly to apply pressure while it cures. Let it sit over night and finish off with two coats of wax and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps, it took me a solid part of a day to complete, roughly six hours start to finish.

I used the oven method to take the assemblies apart. 300 degrees for about 3 - 5 minutes to do the trick. Use a metal putty knife to gently pry on the edges to release the factory sealant. Don't use anything sharp or small in surface area, applying too much pressure on warm plastic will distort.

Are your headlight housings painted black?
