I hear what some of you guys are saying about rice. I merely wanna test it and see how it looks. I ordered a pair of unpainted lids for $35 and I'll paint myself. I figure my paint color is dark, so it might not be as obvious.

It's just that my front looks very stock and I cannot afford a $400 front lip atm. So I'm just testing some things.

Agreed...before selling my headlights last year they were pretty f*cked up.

Though, nothing like a sand and polish to fix them up.

heres a good example of the possible damage that can be done...I advise only using 3M double sided tape.
