I'll stick around even if I get a different car. Unlikely I get rid of it though.

If they stand behind their work, yes. But right now, they look like sh!t because there is condensation in the left one and the right one has a bunch of particles on the inside of the headlight and causes the light to "scatter". Very disappointed.

I had to break mine apart and clean them as well. Since I have done that they have not condensated at all. I don't think MR uses enough silicone when they seal them back. Hopefully you have better luck the second time.

P.S. don't sell your Z. Once it's done it will be well worth it!
