Results look fantastic. You really need to address that front grill though. Paint it black?

It's been that way since the beginning, why change it now? That being said, I'd be open to a smoked/black chrome OEM grille. I don't believe they ever made a "sport" or accessory grille for the 03-07 coupe though?

The 3M kit had a rubbing compound step between the 800 wet sand and clear coat. I found the rubbing compound made quite the difference.

Here's another pic:

All these results look good, if I had this headlight issue I'd still have a body shop clean & clear my headlights! Done right with professional clear coat, it should last for years!
