You should keep them hidden behind your bumper

What did you use to re-clear the headlights? I'm sick of polishing mine.

Also, do you have a cutoff shot?

Looks very clean, nice work! Got any pics of the cutoff? Are the deflectors motorized?

Nicely done! Adjustment looks on point. Great job Reaper.

Out of curiosity, what was your out of pocket cost for the retro fit? (if you don't mind my asking)

And, I too am interested in how you recleared your lenses. They look new.
