I tell you what. I would like to know the same about polishing the rear and front lights. By the way, sick rims. I really would like to get the Z06 5 star rims, kinda like those but the ones that look like srt-4 rims.

keeslinger31

with the splits in them? ya the lights seem to be ruining all the other nice shiny things. i have heard all about polishing the firebird lights but nothing about camaros or anything about fronts. everyone says get new ones. i dont have any $$$ to waste on a turn signal housing.

Welcome to the rich kids sport. When your not rich of course... Haha. Yeah nickel and diming here and there never hurt anything

keeslinger31

I just wish some of this stuff was actually nickles and dimes

No s***. When your like me, and you probably are. Buying stuff for these cars has to be all mint, which costs money and takes time searching. But hey its fun taking it slow and doing stuff here and there, cause later on down the road its worth it.

love the car....love love love the rims

Go to the body department of your local auto parts store like Autozone. They carry a polishing kit for plastic headlights that would likely work. The rims looks great.

keeslinger31

Meguirs make a plastic polish that is awesome. I used it on my GTAs rear lights and they came up like new

I used a Powerball with Power Metal polish, worked fine!

IMO the wheels belong on a C6, I prefer the deep dish look but to each their own. I bet those cost a few nickles and dimes

You running a 4th gen rearend or the world's biggest wheel spacers?

Son of a bee-sting that thing is clean!

Like others mentioned, most any plastic polish will make help with the lights. I've never had any "new looking" results polishing the front turn signals, if your going for the mint look you'll probably need new lights. But the tailights tend to turn out looking new when polished most of the time..

keeslinger31

The worlds biggest spacers lol They are 2.25 huge

02gtp4now

dang that looks good, i would think a powerball would clean up those tails real nice

Oscar

+1 on the power ball. It works awesome, all you need is a drill.

keeslinger31

i went to oriellys today and picked up the meguiars plastx or something like that it worked awesome they are just as shiny as the red on the brake lights i also did the front turn signals they look almost new but one has a scratch on the bottom but you cant see it at all. (very minor) ill post some pics if anyone is interested.

Gr89RS

iTrader: (5)

keeslinger31

As requested. But they dont do them justice ill get better ones in the sun tomorrow...

what did you use to apply it with a powerball? i used a powerball but my rear reverse light on the right is still yellow. i think water got into it or something

keeslinger31

I just used my buffer

Sonymaster20

iTrader: (3)

The wheels look awesome, great stance!

That mother's plastic polish works great as you already found out. The headlight on my TL1000R was scratched really bad from when the previous owner laid it down, I though I'd be shelling out a $150 for a new light but my buddy who works for a body shop said, check this out. I looked brand new in no time!

Rims look great...big fan. Nice clean car.

Mother's plastic polish and a powerball (or mini) work great.

Why now pick up the clear euro front lenses

I bought these lights from a store on Ebay a few months back. If you can part with $60 I recommend them. They went in nice and easy perfect fit......Rims looks awesome by the way.

The lights are a little covered by the Bra but you can still see them.

Hey Project nice carpet. I'm pretty sure I had that carpet when I was like 5 I remember driving my hot wheels on the lines pretending they were roads.

Brisk

iTrader: (25)

nice and clean... those are the rims I wanted for my '91Z, but I settled with 18" C5 Z06 rims (for now)

NobleHdwe

Car looks sweet man. Those wheels are awesome. Those are top on my list for wheels on my 89 Iroc. The lenses turned out awesome. Good work.

Wow. Normally I dislike shiny/chrome/polished wheels but those just flow amazingly well with the white paint. That looks beautiful.

Now just lower it.

The Project

iTrader: (6)

It was here when I bought the house. I'd replace it but I spent all my $$ on my wife's closet

kreator33

how many inches is that car lowered,?what do you have for suspension,and what size spacers in front,i got a 4th gen rear end wich is about 2 '' wider each side,do you think i need an extra .25 inch spacer?looks damn good,im in the process of buyin the same wheels

iansane

iTrader: (1)

FYI, I run those same wheels with an lt1 4thgen rear end and a 1" spacer and they sit flush with the wheelwell.

your car is exactly what i was wanting to do with mine =) looks amazing, also on the polishing, i don't know if you can do this to taillights as well but the newer cars with the clear plastic headlights, at work sometimes if we get a car that needs a new one and the other is the original and it looks crappy, we wet sand and buff the headlight, works pretty good, i know I've done it to my taillights but they were smoked with clear black so its painted, not sure bout just the stock colored plastic.

lonniep01

nice car.dig the wheels to.i like the all white look to
