thanks i was planning on cutting those tabs on the side skirts but i was gonna have a shop do it or something so it will look better than me just cutting it. i left the orange reflector thingy in the head light orange so it matches my side markers. and will that megiars headlight kit work? or will i have to sand it down?

I'm sure it'll look great, if it looks good on TW or WDP then it'll look good on any car with color. The only car it might not look good on is NBP because then it'd have to much dark and not enough contrast, but with any colored car, the contrast will look great.

Was too tired and had homework and a quiz and the the bulls game was on and I was low on gas haha. You get any pics? My friend said that there were some tight cars.

And try the megs kit or you can try to redo the wetsand again with the rubbing compound.

but looks nice man!

1st. 1000 grit - 10 mins wetsanding. make sure to keep it wet.
2nd. 1500 grit- 10 minutes wet sanding
3rd. 2000 grit- 20 minutes wet sanding
(after the sanding you wont be able to see through the light at all, so dont worry)
4th. 3M rubbing compound (rub it in hard, or use a buffer)
5th. Meg's Polish
And wax it up after if you have some wax handy.

Looks real good man! Try to use 2000 grit or higher. Hard to find locally, but Ace hardware has them. I got up to 6000 grit that i found on the internet for my lexus.
