Which headlight resto kit you getting? Get the 3M kit, so you can sand off all the caked on crud on the lenses, afterwardsmake sure you wax or seal the lenses to keep them from yellowing up again.

I think its from driving in the snow, cold snow and warm lenses. Ghost I dont think it will show up in pics. Like I said I can see it starting to happen a bit. I starting to think about after seeing an 09 and seeing how new they looked. Mine are not fresh and super clear anymore.

Joe, if you don't want to bother sealing/waxing the lenses after clearing them up, see if GTS makes a clear headlight cover for the G6. I know GTS made smoked and clear covers for the GA.

Can I use car wax to seal them afterwards?

I got sick of people always asking me why I had a Saturn logo on my car. So I replaced it with the GM logo.

Wow yeah your lenses really got messed up. Well the good news on the all the glue with the eye lids is they won't come off easy :agreed:

Car looks great as always. Your car just screams it wants an MPD though to me :lol: That would complete the look of the front IMO

Dont even get me started on how BAD I want that hood!

My back is killing me fron being hunched over the car all day and my hads are sore fron scrubbing. I must of polished each light 15 times and was scrubbing hard at it too. Not to mention how friggen hard it was to get the eyelids off and all the glue leftover. Nothing a beer or 3 cant fix :agreed: I really dident even think my headlights were that bead till I got my eyelids off. Funny how you dont notice how bad something gets over time till you do something about it.

Yeah same here! WAY too expensive for me though, I told myself I'd hold out on the MPD hood and save the money for the Camaro.

Oh I feel ya, cleaned my car today and I polished my rims today and my hands are killing me, mainly my fingers. Getting in the angles of the rim and the lug nuts with a rag really take a pounding on your fingers lol. Then I armor-all'ed the inside and leather wiped and cleaned everything! Such a pain getting in the back and contorting my body to clean everything :agreed:

I'm already on my 3rd beer now :lol:
