Do you have any more pictures of the car with the wheels? I'm looking to try a similar color combo for my car. Thanks!

Headlight Restore Kit Revisted
I noticed that you used the headlight restore kit about 17 months ago and that you touched them up with toothpaste just recently. How did the restoration hold up during that time? My headlights are yellowed out and I wanted to know if Turtle's kit is worth trying out.
Also, did you use whitening toothpaste?

I used Turtle headlight restore kit, from Walmart $8.
Not the best pictures (taken on different days and such) but it gives you an idea. I noticed a very big difference; they were much clearer afterwards. I was able to remove alot of the oxidation/yellowing on the surface of the lights.
Now to find a way to clear up the clearance strip..

@SpeedFreek34: I don't think the Turtle restore was as clear as the toothpaste >.< My headlights were pretty yellow again after using the Turtle product 17 months ago. You can kind of see the yellow tinge in the wheel picture in the previous post since that was taken right before the headlights got scrubbed down. I only used the included sealant in the kit and didn't reapply any wax since then though.

Toothpaste + Sealant

Instead of sealant, I'll probably use the car wax I have in the garage since I don't think I have any sealant around. I dislike using cheap tricks to get this done, but it sure beats paying the high price for the same results.
