hey all thought i'd share how i diy'd my bumperettes...didnt see paying 300bucks so tried it yesterday pics will show how...few pointers -proper sanding starting with 40,80,120,200,600 and 1000 -with 600 and 1000 grain paper, use water layer over bumperette and rinse off each sanding -wipe nozzle after each coat to give finer spray -cover everything else in the garage -sweeping movements accross each bumperette to coat -take your time with allowing the coats to dry or you'll get layers....always tempted to put on thick coat but dont do it or it'll run -heat lamp to dry have fun ric bumperette paint

theres a way supra guys use to clean the inside of their headlights when dirty.....placing the entire unit in a pre heated over.....350?for about 15 minutes and loosening up the glue to take the lights apart....should work for ours too.....i'll try to find the post.... heres what i have: I've helped cleaning out many headlights for local supras down here in SoCal. The discoloration you see is inside the headlights usally...in some cases outside only. The procedure requires popping your lights into the oven for about 5 minutes at low temperature (be careful or you will damage the light), then removing the plastic casing. From there, you need to polish the plastic with a good plastic polish and scratch remover. Using the right product is important, you don't want to be leaving scratches and nicks on the plastic surface. Use a product such as Novus, Plexus, or Meguiar's plastic cleaner/conditioner. You will certainly want to use Novus, as it will leave the final surface very clean and shiny. A high speed polisher will save you a lot of time and effort. Although, it can be done by hand and some elbow grease. Websites that carry the Novus and Plexus are listed below. You can also find them at other websites by doing a search for 'novus plastic cleaner' or 'plexus plastic cleaner.' Novus: http://www.noscratch.com/novus/form.shtml Plexus: http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/ Silicone/RTV sealant: can be bought at local car parts stores for about $3 in a small tube. Sand paper: use 2000Grit paper, and wetsand the outside of the headlights using a soapy water solution. Your headlights will be crystal clear and smooth. Also, follow up by buffing the sanded surface with the plastic polish/cleaner. Oven Temperature: about 175-200F for about 5-10 mins, depending on the actual temperature of the oven. Leave the headlights in there until they are somewhat warm to the touch. Start at one end of the headlight, and use a dull object such as a butter knife of dull screwdriver to separate the headlights. good luck
