What did you use to restore your headlights? They look great.

The length of your exhaust reminds me of my old exhaust.

What I used was similar with the 3M Headlight Restore Kit. I can't remember what grit I used but there were a lot more than what 3M uses. That combined with wet sand, polish, and clear coat. And I'm going to redo my exhaust once I gather the appropriate material.

Haha, definitely in better weather though! I need to start repairing the front bumper. Where can I get our DWP paint from? I want to repaint the bumper after I finish repairing all the damages. Driving without a front bumper feels weird.


Just missing the 97 fog lights and the door moulding trim thing.

You can try a Napa store. Probably better luck asking from an autobody shop.

I found a place, forgot the name though but my friend got his pearl white from there and he told me that they probably have our paint as well.

Haha, there's a lot of work that needs to be done to the front bumper though




Here's a little update. I got most of the plastidip off the bottom portion of the bumper. Started to sand the JB weld he put on.... Please don't mind my ghetto rig that I salvaged from my buffer to sand. It was the only thing around and no shops were open for me to find proper sand paper...

Any tips on how to make this bottom portion more sturdy would be appreciated!



My old desk chair works perfect for a bumper holder type of deal!

As much as I want to keep these, there was no way I could fit them under nothing less than widebody. I sold them to my friend so he can deal with them on his S14.



Been so lazy with this front bumper repair project, but as the weather clears up a bit, a little more motivation to get my car looking good kicks in. Got the main crack to be almost flat. Put on some zip ties so I can run them for a while until I swap the Stance coilovers in. Then I will start with major body repair including the bumper.



Here's a current, blury, picture of what my car looks like.
