thanks Dan. Should be an interesting one. If all goes well, I'm moving my ass to Plano. It'll be a good location in between school and work. We'll see...and if that goes as planned, I should have the keys to an 06 Legacy in OBP when it comes out and some other toys.

Maybe one of you guys will be out this way once . . .
although there are more reasons to do something in CA . . . unless we do Austin which has some nice twisties . . . We are without a doubt the two hottest groups out here.

There is no secret process...well there might be if someone is charging you $200 bucks to clear headlights. I've done a couple sets myself, 6gen Accord and misc civics. I would choose never to do it again. One time I melted a set so you just gotta be careful.

This is what Casper provided me on clearing the headlights . . .
"I always did laugh about guys talkin about that cause the maxima community disassembles headlights and taillights all the time. Our rule of thumb is temperature. Most of that hard plastic takes quite a bit to really screw up and the only taillights/headlights I've ever heard of being damaged were when they turn the heat up to much. Our standard time/temp is 200 degrees in an oven for 10 mins. A flathead screwdriver is your friend. Carefully and slightly pull the pieces apart and voila! The Acura guys fear putting the headlights back together and get leaks because of the silicone sealant on the headlights. The key here again is to put the parts back together, then put it back in the oven to heat the glue up again. That's it! I've taken more headlights/taillights apart than I can possibly count. Hell, took my tails apart again this past weekend"
Maybe the Honda lens aren't as good as the Nissian lens are . . . we know their trannies are better.
I guess well see . .

We might get you in before the meet depending on the timing of everything else.

I don't know if we will be able to do it at Trancemission's cause he works on weekends and needs advance notice to get off. But, hey, it is always worth a shot!
