Car I just bought has a hole smashed in the front bumper from someone backing into it.needs new. Also looking for clean blob eye front headlights these ones are pretty foggy. And I still need to research it but with the 5mt swap I probably need some trim pieces for the shifter, maybe a cluster I dunno. Don't think it matters but it's a sedan.
It's on the outside. I guess cloudy would be a better word. I know I could clean it up and get decent results. Feeling lazy about it though haha. I'll grab some pics tomorrow when I can move some cars around for a photo op lol.
That will definitely buff out for $20 on a kit and three beers worth of time. When I did my bugeye headlights it took me 5 hours....but I went all ocd on them. I strongly recommend clear bra material over them after you do. Mine looked just as good 6 years later! For $60 for both headlights, it was well worth it! Chris at FlawlessFrontEnds did mine.
What did you use to polish em? In the past I just sanded the old clear coat off and put on a new coat. It worked okay, the first time I did I got a little too trigger happy and there was really bad crazing but after i got it all off and tried again it turned out pretty good.
I heard the kits don't last I'm guessing that's because people who say that don't put a new clear coat on?
Correct. If I take the time to clean mine up again I'm definitely gonna have them protected in some fashion.
I used the 3m kit and 3m clearcoat afterward. The kits technically weren't designed with clearcoat in mind
Sanding and/or buffing the lenses out should work fine, and usually does unless the plastic has stress cracks in it. There's a UV-protective coating on the lens that you'd have to reapply (like the 3M clear coat) if you want it to last, otherwise you'll end up having to polish them out again every few months or so.
