3M Headlight Restoration Kit

This is what I used on a bike years ago. Worked fantastic.

yes, I would make sure your headlights are pristine before doing this mod...

PM sent about the gt3 vent.... I pretty much used a jigsaw to cut around with a diamond/carbide blade. the reason for the carbide blade is because it doesn't have teeth. you can also use a heavy duty box knife and you score twice the bumper and it will go thru...

This is my install:


Looks perfect Joel, great job!

I agree gloss black is a better match for the paint work than matte.

These are reasonably priced (if you live in the U.S.) considering a set of carbon fibre covers would cost you 300USD plus shipping.

Black gloss on black really look nice!
Where did you get them? I do not know if I overlooked any post, but I was not able to find it.

I received mine today long with my ROTtec lighting separately. I pick up the car later today from the coilover install. I hope to have the headlights polished tomorrow then install these. Thanks for the hook-up!

Not sure if this was asked, but can you apply this over your "3M" headlight material? Clear bra material is on my headlights as well!
