I'm also doing the headlights using the 3M Kit. I've finished one but I just did it so I have no pictures. Sorry for the delay on pictures... Internets been out at the house so I've only been able to get on at the garage or at my grandparents. ( People around here have been stealing the copper wire from phone lines... :/ ).

awesome progress man!!! that car is going to be brand new soon!
i always wanted to get it repainted. the original owner was from Colorado and as you can see, the sand they put down on the roads in the winter ate the **** outta the hood and front bumper.
SO happy the car went to somebody that is going to take care of it

I will! Thanks alot you guys.
And yeah I saw all of that. At first I thought it was buffing compound cause it was white. ( Someone came to the shop when I was working on my truck and wanted to demonstrate a new kind of compound and they didn't get the excess of and I had white spots on it... ) But yeah bumpers off now it'll be repainted and there was a dent on the drivers side on the bumper? I said... How the hell did he dent this thing lol but I'll heat it up and pull it out.

I never had a ding, dent or anything happen to the car... First owners wife had it while he was deployed overseas in afghanistan and he came back and the dent was in the rear fender (if that's what you're talking about). There wasn't ever a dent in the front bumper however.

Yea, I agree. Z looks good so far. I can't wait to see the finished product. It's funny how excited I am for you lol. I guess I'm living vicariously through you lol. BTW what are your plans for the passenger rear rim? are you planning on replacing the other three rims or leave the one unmatched rim the way it is? Just curious.
