The problem with wetsanding headlights is that you remove whatever is left of the UV coating, so they end upl yellowing even faster. You can use a UV coating, UV clear coat, or even just regular clear coat (but that requires more upkeep).

^ Wouldn't orange peel affect your headlight output? Although I guess if that was a worry you could always wetsand again for a smoother finish.

As you said, you can wetsand it. Clearcoat does affect the output slightly though. But so does yellowing

Yeah I know

I've been cleaning my headlights ever since I blacked them out back in the day. Having a dark housing made the "foggyness" of the plastic look terrible.

I SHOULD put some sort of finishing coat to keep them from fogging back up but honestly I'm not too worried about it. I sort of enjoy cleaning them, it's therapeutic

If I was a baller I would order brand new housings but I don't have a money tree.

So,what? Forza comes out and you're off the grid?
I saw this on a car the other day and thought you NEED to get some.
One for you, Mitzy and I'm sure they have a little doggy one for Cosmo.

That's awesome BUT I would never put those "family" stickers on my car.





And yeah, Forza came out yesterday so I played that all day and today I'm consumed with an online test and homework. I have two pictures to post but I'll wait

The only sticker I'd put on my car is "I brake for penguins"...
but even then, I'd probably not peel the backing off before applying it.

Not surprising. I drove 15 miles round trip on Tuesday to pick up Forza Horizon and that's about all I've done

What are you at now?

128K closing in on 129K. I'm pretty sure I'm in the top 5 in mileage for an 08. Still on the lookout for Aspec. Next year's project.

I did over 3K miles in the 3 weeks. 56K since last May. It's running like a champ.

I've been looking through the BM and CL for Aspecs. If I see a nice clean set I'll jump all over them. I'm probably going to need tires in the next month or two so I can easily put snow tires on my stocks and dedicated winter wheels.
