Yeah ive tried just about every technique you could think of to restore the headlights but they are just too far gone..Im just gonna buy some smoked clear corners because they will look a hell of a lot better than these ever could. SO hopefully I can pick those up sometime before the shoot

Have you tried buffing the lense with something as simple as a powerball mini? I just got one and would be happy to let you try it if you want. I would just bring the cordless drill(if my battery is still good) and some compound, can't hurt?

I JUST PICKER HER UP!!!!! A day early but we decided to wait and see if it failed emmisions and then go tune it if it needs it. It has no surging or idle problems, no check engine light and after a short drive looks to be running normal! I didn't get it above 3k rpms as I want to take it easy for the first 4-500 miles, but I am plannin a long drive at sunset tonight!

The valvetrain was a little louder then we would have liked at first but I think it was just from sitting for a little while inbetween installs. We added some cam additive and I put in a fuel cleaner on the way home. This with a tank of fresh gas made a big difference in the noise by the time I got home and I expect it to go down even more with more miles. The car sat for a year, old gas and everything else taken into account she seems ok. AC isn't workin so I am going to check the freon a little later when she cools off.

I had to replace my headlights on my 2000 and found some very cool ones on ebay for about $100 and they are so easy to change!!

I heard you have to put some sort of silicone sealant around the lights to prevent moisture from getting in. Is it hard to do? did you have to do it?

21 or 22 is good for me too. I was assuming an evening shot for the light but we could beat the heat and do it in the morning if we want. Temps would be less, no traffic and such but we would need to be up early.

I have never had an issue with headlights but I did lightly smoke mine a while back and then do a good quality uv clear that was made for fiberglass bodys so it can bend a little. Taking the lights out is easy enough. I would think you could sand/buff/polish them and then clear over them over night.

darn darn darn..... I took the momstang for a short shake-down drive last night as I wanted to put a few miles on her before going to emissions as I planned this morning. I didn't get a mile from my house before the sheriff reminded me that I needed to re-tape the temp permit to the back window. I put it on there when I left the shop and noticed 3 miles later that it was starting to peel off in one corner to I pulled over and tore it off rather then loose it. I have rarely noticed a cop behind me to run my plates but they did expire in sept 08... They checked me out, felt me up and cut me loose. After returning home to tape it on stronger I went out for a short ride. The valves or lifters were still louder then I liked but they quieted down quite a bit. At one point I was crusing along at 2k rpms and it started to buck a little bit, and after a short ride on the 202 the check engine light came on. Besides this the AC wasn't working so I decided to drop her back off this morn for a tune. I called back this afternoon and they said that they thought it was still too loud and wanted to check out the valves and lifters to make sure before they take it to tune it. He said they will not charge me any labor only parts to make it right so it is nice to know it will get done. Unfortunatly they can't start on it till monday....... Oh well, had her for a day.
