Default Sanded Headlights, removed eyelids and grill inserts
Howdy all! So I finally got another s2k and it happened to be the same color too (spa) lol with 74k in great condition. It was stock with the exception of eyelids and grille inserts BOTH of which had to go with a quickness.

So here's the pass hl pre:


Eyelid removed:


I went ahead and polished the hl, used 600 and 1000 grit sandpaper, 3M rubbing compound and sealant


Can't forget the eyelid removal kit lol!


Back to stock


Finished product of drivers side hl

Getting ready for ap2 front and lip...

They still look a little cloudy to me. Try some fine polish and a PC.

You should've told me when you were at Toyo's and I would have swung by and cleared them up for you.
