3rd party handwash can be even worse for your paint than the brushes are. Their dirty towels can leave all kinds of scratches and swirls. The only good wash is the one that you do yourself, in-between I stay with the "touchless" washes even though they kind of suck in terms of getting you all the way clean.

Hmm I was told those "touchless" washes uses stronger soap that eats through the clearcoat.

I wouldn't run a brand new 370 through a auto wash, but more power to anyone who wants to. It's not a lambo, it's a $30K car.

ssqpolo · 04-10-2009, 11:13 PM

juan05 · 04-11-2009, 10:55 PM

I'd be nice if the guys at amplified would do a DIY with temps and times of how long to bake em to open them up..............or if they used another method.......

i think you gotta send urs in to be modified....well at least for now i think

Skorch · 04-14-2009, 12:53 PM

I hope the prices are reasonable... I really want this mod and I don't trust myself with wiring it all and drilling my headlights alone.

nogoodname · 04-14-2009, 01:06 PM

^^ I think thats the easy part, taking it apart it the hardest.....you gotta warm up the headlights in a oven to break the seal....then seal it back with having moisture problems

Baking the headlights is something I'm actually not worried about. I've baked the ones in my Tiburons at least 5 times and never had any moisture issues.

We got a price on these yet?

shabarivas · 04-21-2009, 12:43 PM

+1 on price... looking to get them painted black + color matched shroud. DO NOT want / need any LED arrays maybe just change out the side marker to be white + side marker
