^when I wetsand/buff headlights, I use 1500->1800->2000->2500 grit then with mothers powerball I use bluemagic lens restorer. Should have taken some pics of my buddies headlights I did. They were all yellow, after all that looked brand new.

Also Jason, looking good, car is coming along nicely. Though those tails are ricey, but smoked should be nice.

I have his all red Tail lights. YAY. CAR LOOKS DOPE MAN. PS, I think I may just get a CF gas cover now. loool
Not bashing, but I think the tail lights would look better just a little less blacked out. Smoked a bit less. Either way, the car looks sick. I wish my cars body was the way yours looks right now.

I can't wait to see that glass shine finish when your car is painted. Yours and your girl's. Black cars are so nice when they are shiny.

Here only a few pictures of the car with the paper on it when i got there, and then after i took off all the paper and tape. I did get a few other stuff done to the car as well, but you will all get to see it today, as I'm going to get the car all back together, and I will be driving it from now on, unless is snows, and maybe not then, summer tires and snow don't go well together,lol. It's nice having everything shaved on the hatch and having no ugly antenna hole any more. Plus the bumpers, side molding, spoon mirrors, door handles, side skirts, and type-r spoiler where all painted yesturday at 4:15.

The car has been base coat and clears coated. In just materials used I'm looking around $1500 my cost, and $1000 is just the paint supplies.

I also have 16" rims as well, that are going to be used as track rims most likely, well once I weld up the 2 rims that have cracks in them.

The rims are only 17's with a 205/40 on them. And the tail lights, people can see the light fine through them.

Yes I feel like I'm driving a new car some what. Yes I will be keeping these rims, as I just bough 4 new tires for them.
