    Yeah and not all of us have money just falling out of our asses either.

    I remember reading some write-ups about sanding them down with very fine sandpaper and using scratch filler or something to smooth them back out. They looked almost as good as new when done.

    I remember something like that too!! But they make a little cheap kit you just wipe on and off. Probably some lite hand buffing.

    Billy,

    I've used Mothers Mag Aluminum Polish before and it seemed to help.

    You have to buff it a little bit but it seems to work.:nice:

    You know how I'm going to fix the problem of my headlights yellowing? I'm going to put a Capri nose back on it. I fuggin' HATE aero headlights. Mine are 2 or so years old and are foggy and yellow as ****. I HATE THEM!! I like the look but, damn them all to hell. Besides, my car is a Capri and should probably look like one. LOL














    ...or an '86 GT haven't made up my mind yet. LOLL :shrug:

    imo by the time you get them to where you want them you could have bought some new ones. just dont go the 1 piece if your looking to get out cheap.

    and i think you can get the stuff at summit or jegs
    the 50resto part # is cc-13007
