If you sell the Z and the s2k, you can probably get one

I like the look of the old Viper better than the new one, especially the ACR

I would love them more if I could fit in them. Too tall for them

Well then you just have to wait.

Also, some more pics of my headlights after I got them cleaned up.

Hopefully Kevin will reply today. I'm expecting $100-200

Good job Shahid. It looks great.

You were able to fix your headlight??

Thanks! No the melted spot is still there on the passenger side headlight (you can see it if you look closely at the second to last pic). I just mostly took photos of the good side

With the headlights reflecting light like that though, the spot becomes less obvious.

Cristobal09 · 09-25-2012, 11:27 AM

hell you can barely see it (at least from that pic). Just as long as you dont have any condensation building up in it, id forget about it.

Is it worth blowing 600 bucks on a new headlight? no way, at least imo.

b1adesofcha0s · 09-25-2012, 11:34 AM

Yeah I'm not really even worried about it. I've seen used headlights on eBay for like $350 so not as bad as I previously though.

dmhenderson · 09-25-2012, 01:09 PM

D&V just offered to buff out the blemish on mine "while I wait" for free (I think). Sent Kevin a follow-up email to make sure I understood him correctly.

he said it might be slightly deformed but will be completely transparent again (not crinkled).

I think "free" is a good number.

Seriously that shop just rocks. Worth the mileage/gas 100x over.

eastwest2300 · 09-25-2012, 01:09 PM

Blades, I gotta say that paint looks good. Hell if anything, you could just buy a headlight if the opportunity presented itself, and just use the shell, swap everything else out.
