finally did it :)

well....i finally got the nerve to do it, and i am very happy with the outcome..can u tell wat i did?

hehe.....at first i was really nervous but once i finally decided to do it..it was soo much easier then i thought. i just followed the DIY and everything came out right, the only thing that was hard was not getting the silicone on the chrome

me an my fren did it within like 2 hours and they came out fine. now all i gotta hope is that they dont fog up hehe but to all that have been too scared to try it...i say GO FOR IT!

Make sure you don't wash your car for 24 hours. That's how long it takes for the silicone to fully dry.

Yea, I didn't take mine all the way off, and it was a bit of a pain to deal with. Oh well, good job; looks sweet!

Totally. . . . just cleared the corners on my neighbor's white 7th Gen coupe. . . . she totally loves it!

That makes four sets of lights I've cleared! Hehe. . . . got the process down to under 90 minutes, now.

Cleared OEM headlights look 10 times better than projectors IMO (unless you got CF projectors on a black car of course). Now you should get some spray paint and sand paper and clean up your engine bay for less than $10. There's quite a few mods you can do to the car for less than $15. Keep up the good work it looks a lot better.
