i refinished using 3m kit and spar/mineral spirits at the end. came out way better looking than when i paid to have them done. and followed alax7s guide on doing angel eyes. So thanks alax for the guide. wasnt actually that bad once i started. i have a crack along the bottom of my bumper cover since ive had it so i wanna get a new bumper cover and fogs since they are pretty hazy. i dunno how well the spar/mineral spirits will hold up but hopefully quite awhile. this forum has been a ton of help since i got this car. so thanks everyone.






 
Your car looks great with this mod.

I am not sure I see the crack, so it is assumingly minor - you can probably bondo it and have the whole thing resprayed or try and match the spot (your color looks like a difficult match).


How long have you had the LED fogs?
 
well the car had that crack bondo and resprayed before cause the stuff was cracked and i could tell. ive had the led fogs since about feb. got them same time i got my hid kit from ddm.
 
Might be fixable...

I've seen permanent repairs made successfully on parts like your bumper cover with fiberglass cloth and the key is using two part aircraft epoxy adhesive rather than standard fiberglass resin. You need a high strength repair and minimal use of fillers.

Beautiful car, love the LSE and that's a great color.
 
I'M INTRESTED IN INSTALLING ANGEL EYES IN MY 05 LS. sINCE THEY DON,T MAKE A KIT FOR OUR CARS YOU MUST HAVE USED A UNIVERSAL ONE. PLEASE LET WHICH KIT FROM WHICH SUPPLIER. THANKS.
 
Very nice. I SHOULDNT buy angel eyes right now, money is tight... But maybe i will.
 
that is where i got mine from. make them a offer so u may get them cheaper. just follow alax7s video and you shouldnt really have a problem. just takes time and patience lol.
