Also looking for the interior piece of the A pillar, mine has a lot of sun damage to it.
Driver floor mat is also wanted, need it in green color and undamaged by that hook.



Thanks!

I have some cheap headlights. let me know if you want them. They're in my FS thread in my sig

Try clearing them up with some tooth paste...i thinks it works just as good if not better than the headlight cleaner kits you can buy

What? Toothpaste? Minty or regular?

I recommend dish soap, scrub it in with a stiff toothbrush, since you should probably have both laying around anyways. That works amazingly on your wiper cowling too.

I will try them both, thank you for your advice!

Lol yes I know it sounds crazy, but it really does work.

1.)Take any toothpaste doesnt matter what kind, and then when putting it on I usually put a nice thick line all the way across the headlight.

2.) Take a rag or cloth and scrub it all over the headlight. Make sure ur pushing down into the headlight so the toothpaste eats up all the carbon build up. Depending on how much you put on it should start to dry up on the headlight, when this happens continue to scrub until it looks as if you wiped all of the toothpaste off.

3.) Now take your hose and just wash away whats left of the toothpaste.

Sorry it took so long to post back lol. Let me know how it goes.

That's awesome!

i would imagine actual paste toothpaste would be better than gel toothpaste no?
cause i've done this on scratched CD's before and after using the toothpaste the scratches were gone

All cleaning techniques will really work the same. prety much it's just to remove the "film" that builds up because of UV damage. There are some products that inhibit the effects of UV damage, however it's all just a "matter of time"

some companies offer petroleum based "sealants" that slows the process down. I'm using bluemagic sealant, but not long enough to report a difference.

Honestly, cleaning them regularly and giving them a quality wax is really the only way to keep them from yellowing over.

Okay, got the headlights cleared, well, somewhat cleared. My brother had a set of the headlight cleaner and left it, so I stole it.
So...I am going to try toothpaste next time.

Yes super k is right all methods pretty much work the same, I just found toothpaste to work the best for me. It takes 5 mins and is cheap to do lol. Though depending on how dirty they are it may take a few times to really clear them up. Buffing tgem when ur done also makes a night and day difference. Ill get some pics up the next time I clean mine I havent touched my headlights for about a month

The correct way to clear up your headlights is to wetsand them starting with 1200 grit and moving up to 1500-2000 and then buffing them.
Also Meguiar's PlastX works great for headlight cleaning.

He is right, I just turned my rotten yellow headlights clear wetsanding with 1000 grit / 1500 grit & polishing with zymol wax... All by hand. It worked great.
