for the headlights just polish them. Mine were getting all yellow, and i took 220 grit 400 grit 600 grit 800 grit 100 grit 1500 grit and 2000 grit , started with 220 and went up to 2000 the wet sanded with 2000, and i got clear coat and sparayed a few coats of clear on there, and then wet sanded the clear, and buffed it and they were shinier than when they were new.

Yes you can do that also, but you are gonna have to do it again in a year or two!

you won't have to do it again if you put a good bit of clear on it and keep them clean i wax mine they shine like crazy and they have colored at all its been about 3 years since i did mine. i guess it depends on much clear you use. maybe i don't know

I really don't have the time to be sanding them down. One of my friends said he may have some cleaner stuff that they used where he used to work. If he's got it, I'm going to give it a go... if not, who knows.

Also, what do you think of these... the one thing it needs most. Out of all the reviews, it hasn't received lower than a 9 so far. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....tnum=04WR7EASX

Thanks guys/gals.

You can use Mother's polish and it works faster than sanding.

The Kuhmo ASX model is nice. I have the Supra 712's on mine and love them!!!

First I would pollish the headlights with a plastic pollish ( avail at most auto parts stores),use a drill attachment. Or choice # 2 if you can afford it?( beter lighting than the others).Then tires & wheels Then i would try to get sway bars from a sport model or an acr(wrecking yard).Springs when you can aford it. Rear struts as they seem to ware out faster than fronts. Check for broken ones (comon on rear) Good luck
