Try taping off the edges...using 1500 untill you get a smooth surface...after the surface is evenly coated apply megulairs quik detail while wet sanding it to a smooth surface with 2000 grit, after you get a smoother surface you a fabric cloth to polish in the polish you would like to use...if it doesnt work then you need new headlights..LOL.

 

an old friend used to use oven cleaner since it's a chemical based abrasive material... he used an old toothbrush to scrub it a little, but you don't want to leave it on too long... it will melt your plastic

and I've seen many headlights, even the most yellow headlights, cleared up with good 3M buffing compound and a buffer... probably safer than sand paper

 

3m restoration kit with sand paper or DIY piece it together. Take your time and the results should be good. If not you only are out $40 and can pick up a new set of headlights if that does not work.

I did the treatment on my 1 piece JDM TSX projector retrofit for my Vigor.

 

chris, shoot me a text on how much to do my compression rod bushings when you see this.

 

ups just rang the doorbell and left me some goodies!

whiteline front and rear endlinks!

 

^purty.. and GOLD!!!

 

did you get your sway bars yet??

the best way to install some endlinks is to use a inground pit...lol then you dont have to worry about compression and the popping you get when there arent installed right..

 

or lift the entire front end

 

Sways come tomorrow. I have the popping or clunking sound right now, that's why im replacing the compression rod bushings and endlinks.

 

I am not sure yet. Its not very hard to do but I need to figure out the energy ones....I dont understand them honestly. From what I can tell you just slide the metal rod around the bolt itself and just set those URETHANE bushings into the old compression spot which doesnt seem to make sense to me.

nice pick up on these

ohhh no.......

or just use Ramps that I have to drop the car down onto while our installing end links. Allows the precise placement for the end links to be installed.

yup!

wonder if thats also coils related to.....even with my wornout bushings I didnt have to much popping and clunking...could be related to not all of the Bolts being tight on the suspension since you messed with the whole rear-end the other day at my house.

 

chris, i think you just install them like oem compression bushings. I really don't want to drive to stephens just to get it done.

The noise I dont think is coil related. .we never adjusted the fronts. We just took out that wrong mount in the rear and spun the collars. The noise is coming from the front, on both sides. When i talked to stephen he said its either compression rod bushings or the endlinks. So here I am getting both replaced.

 

I understand bud. I think the OEM bushings have to pressed out anyways....the new ones may not require to be pressed but I need to see them in my hands so that I can get a better idea of how they are installed.

If you want to wait for the sways and do all of it at one time we can do thats. Its up to you bro. I am flexible. I will pm you the price really quick on just compression rods.

 

THIS!!! my spring bucket was loose from when I went true coilover setup.. I had been driving w/ it all that time, and Chris found the culprit.. popping GONE!!

EDIT: Nevermind, just read the sound was coming from the front..

 

its Bushing pressing time!!!!!! damn expensive *** 57.00 for 2 damn sockets.....!

 

placed the order for my new brake pads... old ones wore out, didn't last long since they were used when I got them.

got the project mu b-force pads. I loved the ones I had on my old setup so should be even better paired the akebonos

also placed my pre-order for the EVO 3d, excited get with the times and have a real phone. also will be nice to get 4g and phone insurance in addition to everything I already had and still saving $20 a month.
