Yea, most of the work was wet sanding... what did you use to clear coat? Do you have a close up shot, or pics of the work?

lol... I already did the headlight restore. I was talking to another member about that. I'm going to have to get some professional help on these, because this is the result of about 3.5 hours.

I had badly oxidized headlights, I just bought the turtle wax headlight restoration kit for like 8 bucks, and they came out looking near factory new.

I used Mother's... maybe I should try another brand.

Hi, awesome looking ride man !

could you tell me a bit how you went about painting the chrome front grille to all black ?
as well ... the headlights have the black on the top edge, any special ways of doing it ?

thank you in advance.

The grille looks great.

He has eye-brows. You can buy them off Ebay.

If you want to do something really cool, take your headlights apart and do angel-eyes. But paint the light bezels silver frost to match your LS. Before you put them back together. That would look sweet. Just my $.02.

the headlights were taped off and sprayed, wet sanded, and cleared

looks good, but you should have painted the chrome as well.

lol.. I'm not ready to go that far!

I may be able to get something for this when I upgrade to the LSE grille.

I was under the impression the chrome on those bumpers was just stuck on with adhesive... I thought you could just pull it off with a heat gun and some patience... or maybe I'm wrong?
