try this..

start with 640.. or 1000 grit sand paper.. of course wet sand..

then work your way up.. then don't use plastic x... use 3M rubbing compound.. rub that shit in hard.. then megs polish.. also rubbing that shit like none other... then look at your work.. see if it cleans that up.. then just wax it.. i've done that to a few of the headlights i've blacked out..

all that stuff just looks like surface damage.. nothing a day and a lot of work can do..

it'll save you from having to buy a new lamp..

if what i told you doesn't work.....

then..... yahoo auction japan sells left and right lamps for $70~ each.. just gotta add fees and shipping...

Sucks. If it was just the bumper, it would be easier, but it looks like you have to bondo and repaint the rear quarter panel as well. At least she has...insurance?

onebadna1nsx

aw damn dude, that's a bitch... do you have full coverage?? take it to a shop asap

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

He needs to claim it through HER insurance if possible.

Do you guys want me to drive my TL or my Integra? (Both boosted)

aznbo187

iTrader: (1)

Tl.

onebadna1nsx

I never did that... i always went through my insurance first, and then get my money back

oarichard

iTrader: (3)

yea luckily we both have the same insurance (allstate) and yes i do have full coverage.. i was thinking maybe i can just take it to a cheap korean body shop my dad knows and get it fixed there and maybe i can even get a ronjon bumper instead of oem ? haha yea right i wish...

zeppler

so i couldnt wait all day...and today before the shop was gna close i went in with a friend to take a look on progress. all i gotta say is that the flat black paintjob looks. wow.

nothing chrome all shiny. all black.
u guys just gotta wait till tomorrow for pics =P

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

no.. don't take it to a korean place.. its stupid and retarded..

i would kno because..

a) koreans are shady at times
b) we like to do cheap as much as possible
c) used parts to give away for the price of new..
d) overcharge.. best way to make money and be that korean "brotha"

i got fucked over.. over charged me for waaay to many things and messed up my hood (waaaay back then before this matte black hood) and stuff..

jus take it to a shop that the insurance recommends... and while you're at it.. get a aspec

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

and if there are no bumper damage.. just get that repainted and use the money for a new bumper to get rear aspec cuz your exhaust looks funny as shit without one...

there's a guy up in 626 who is gonna paint my hood for $180...

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

if price is right, i may consider.....

awaman

iTrader: (1)

Yo man, I'm down to help you out if our schedules fit. I live in the Valley and you're in NoHo? But yeah jus let a brotha know. And also I'm down for the meet on the 18th, probably be the only one I would make it to cause I leave the state in May and I gotta ship my ride. So I'm down if it's open. You're organizing for "Northern" SoCal right.
