Hi guys!!! I'm so excited to have found this site!! I have found a sweet 2004 Crossfire, low miles, and I have decided to buy it tom. All the reviews I have read are REALLY good for this car! I drive it today, and I LOVE the get up and go pep it has!! I am looking forward to being a part of this group too! Have you guys had any luck restoring the headlight lens with the kit you can buy? Or am I lookin at purchasing brand new ones? Any feedback would be sinecerely appreciated. Thank you in advance!

 

New headlight assemblies are something around $350-400 each.

I restored mine with wet sand paper and Mequiar's PLastX. There is a tutorial here on the forum somewhere....

 

Here is the procedure I more-or-less followed.

I did not get a "Before" photo, but here is an "after". I cant seem to make the commercial kits work, but this procedure (again, did not follow it exactly) worked on my current car and my Graphite car.

 

Before buying a kit and if your lights are not too distressed try using regular toothpaste with a damp soft cloth, rinse afterwards ,dry then apply a coat of car wax.

 

Join Sam's Club. They charge $29.99 to restore headlights (hand wet sand, Polish, UV clear coat), 5 year warranty. I've spent a lot more on materials when I did it myself.

 

Have you looked at the price of these headlights lately? They did better than the market in the last few years.

 

Yea, I'm seeing $400-$600 used, $600-$800 new. EACH !
