Headlight Re-Lens. (looks interesting)

Thanks Lobo! I agree with you... The parts are cheap and it is definetly a DIY project if you are comfortable with such things.

I looked the epoxy sealing process up and I guess it's more common than I initially thought. I need to read more.

That being said... $100-200 per headlight with a warranty and satisfaction garantee looks tasty to me.

If/when I take the plung I will post pics and my experience.

If anybody else has had this done or done it themselves I am interested in hearing about it.

Thanks!

Also something I forgot to mention I did not do this on my boxster I did this on a mustang. the lenses were VERY bad, cracking, yellow and near opaque. The result was near perfection. now on a boxster I doubt the lenses would be in that bad a state of disrepair so I would imagine the results would be as high as you could expect.


also I wouldnt personally send my lights to this company. In their photo section Its easy to see they are skewing their before and after pictures. Sure they come out great that is fine and you may get great results going to that company. But for me personally do not need to be lied to even if its only initially. Ill take care of my lights myself.

If you look at those lenses you will see that the one on the left IMHO look as if they have been sanded to look like that. I can tell because I have done this process and when you sand them it looks EXACTLY like that before you polish and epoxy.

also that model year of mustang in those photos the lenses wouldnt look like that with disrepair... but they would if you sanded them.

Have a good friend who just polished his '02 C4 headlights. They looked Opaque when he brought the car home. He used the 3-M kit and they now look like new. He also added a slightly darker film over them which toned down the bright silver look and makes them blend into the Midnight blue finish a lot better. I believe the 3-M kit uses a 3000 grit sanding disc to initially clear the old surface off. As with all of these 'fixes' it pays to proceed with caution and leave the beers until the job is done.

haha proceed without beer?

its amazing what some sanding can do to many surfaces Im in the process of polishing my exhaust tips they were a titanium finish type thing but I hit it up with some 600 and soon 1000 and 2000 and they will be pretty damn near chrome.

True. I plan on an 'orange peel removal' binge this spring. Remarkable the amount of it on the lower sides of the doors and fenders. Will also fill in some small chips before beginning the process.
