Dreaded front wheel bearing has been going for a while. Car had very loud road noise, steering wheel vibration and a rotational slight metalic noise when driving next to a wall (previously described as metal coffee can noise). We pulled the wheel bearing off last night at my friends shop and it looked like a Pitbull chewed on it. My car has just over 20k, but I read it's a common issue. Now it's quiet inside - I love it

I just picked up my headlights from my friends body shop. He wet sanded, polished, buffed, clear coated them twice and polished again. They looked horrible before, now they look like new.

They look fantastic but you should put a clear bra on the headlights because in one month they will be like before from what I understood.

nope - not if you clear coat them. if you just wetsand and polish them - the fade will start coming back and in 4-6 months they will look worse again. i did that when i forst bought the car. if you get them clear coated they will last for 2-3 years until they start showing fade again.

i am going to put Lamin-X protective film over them to protect them from rock chips.

If you regularly use a UV protective sealant they will not fade again. Also be sure to keep them clean and remove insects/bird drops/tree resin.
