hmm, i do like the look of the stockers myself, as in how the projectors look recessed. but buying new ones isnt financially feasible.
As for the body color border i got rid of that idea VERY quick months back after this quick photoshop i did. yes its not exact but gives a good enough idea of how bad it would look.
I do like the chrome just because itll match but i am hesitant. I can not find a pic of a car yet that has them. I have a hard enough time deciding on what car i wanna buy/build each month, so picking out headlights, im all over the place, lol.
I did look more into polishing and reconditioning my current ones.
read a bunch of threads and saw pics, they really DO look awesome when in mint shape.
people have said though that the refinishing kits by like 3M etc, are not good enough alone. And that you need to wetsand the lights starting at 400 grit.
I looked to see what products are available locally by me and so forth.
Being that im at base, id have to buy everything.
sandpaper, 400 grit, 800 grit, 1000 grit, 2000 grit, 2500 grit. ~$25($5 per pack)
polishing compound & rubbing compound ~$7 ($3.50 each)
Plastix clear plastic polish ~$8
spray-on UV protectant(what makes the refinishing last longer) ~$7
6" orbital buffer w/enough terrycloth bonnets $38
masking tape $5
thats a total of about $90. (id be able to do other lights or these again in the future)
So ill probably order all that stuff online, and save 30-40 bucks and do the lights when spring finally gets here. IF they dont turn out decent, then ill look into swapping on lenses.
