my father in-law tells me that you can remove the yellow from the headlights by using a mild rubbing compound and a electric buffer or drill with buffer pad on it and a little time. he tells me it was a chemical defect in the plastic that when exposed to the uv rays over time changes them to yellow. what your actually doing is very lightly peeling away a layer of the plastic. He said that he did it to a couple of cop cars he has worked on it took a while but it worked.

I'm going to try it tomorrow I'll let you know if it works.

n.j. gt: Smoked headlights/corners look great! Nice license cover job also.

I also agree with Back2Mustangs' order with a shifter a the top of the list. The midpipe did the most for me and made it sound immediately better even with the stock catback.
