Just put the 3m Stoneguard over your headlights. think of it as tinting your windows.. the 3m stoneguard over the lights is even a bit thicker to protect against rocks. nice addition. If u wanna see who did 'em search for member "Ken" on hp.com

the clearcoat on my jdm's were beginning to chip on the top, its not in a visable spot. but i just used some of my girlfriend's clear finger nail polish. i wouldnt suggest trying it over a large area. but i just had a small spot. worked pretty good.

Just from some place in Toronto...the guy imports JDM engines and they started throwing these in. They just need a buff job on a couple scuffs and they're good to go. I think he just started getting them so he doesn't know what they're worth. Plus half of them are sh!t and I wouldn't pay $50 for them..I just went in and picked the best of the crop.

That interesting Satan_SRV... So how scuffed it that light that you need to buff out anyway? Which light was it again?

I wonder how damaged the other lights were...
