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

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? Quote:

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.Originally Posted by Edgarc6789

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!
