VEERRRRY NICEEE. really like those taillights, and the headlights look new lol. nicely done

 

New tails look very good. Great job on the headlights.

 

looks very nice Im glad the headlight trick worked out for you

 

Nice upgrade where did you get your tails from

 

Looking good man, taillights makes a big diff. nice!!

 

I ordered the tail lights from a company called Viniati (google them). Shipped for $299, best price around. Thanks for the trick Tony, I used 1500wetsand with some soapy water, then polished it with the meguiars plasticX with a drill attachment.

For you guys out there that are skeptical about these tail lights, they are worth it. Makes the car look 5 years newer, great buy.

 

Nice! Only thing I don't really like is the gold badges at the back of the car, doesn't really go with the chrome bits IMO. Otherwise very nice car!

 

I HATE the gold (they came with the car) I have already bought the chrome strip above the license plate, just waiting for the emblems to arive

 

Looking good!

 

updated taillights and shiny headlights always make the car feel newer

I was going to say that's what Pic 6 is for, ripping out the gold emblems

 

i guess you could paint the emblems any color you want. A matte white or even paint them to look chrome... save some money.

 

How do you prevent the headlights from getting to that point????

 

To my knowledge there is no "prevention" method to this problem. The headlights had that yellow/cloudy tint on them.

In that picture where it looks cloudy is after I wetsanded it and polished a corner to see how it came out.

I've never wetsanded before and I did a damn good job. Spent about 30min on each light. If you plan on doing this, make sure your sanding strokes are parallel (no circles etc..) I used a top-to-bottom motion.

Results will vary depending on the intensity of the "fog effect" on the headlight

 

Update: Got my rims refinished, chrome emblems, lowered on stock air
