I had mine buffed by a pro. Here's old vs new. It's a huge improvement to go new or aftermarket.

Wow, a big difference, may I ask you how much did you pay to the pro?

Right now the new ones are out of question (just replaced all the control arms on the suspension) but Sunset Porsche sells them (with the discount) at about $1,200 each..

You can find new lights for around $850 a pair if you search around a little

$20/side. My Box was from Orange County so yeah, that so cal sun baked them and the hood was sand blasted.

This guy had a cordless grinder with different heads and compounds. It did help but man, that yellow haze...
