Default no clear corners for me

well, got my car back from the body shop. seems they were able to buff out the crap on my headlight. sadly, on my budget, this means that i wont be getting a new headlight. consequently, ill have no extra one to play/experiment on. im kinda disappointed.

No one at the meets where I've see Toasted Oats clear then ever had a spare. He heats them up and they pop open....out comes the reflector and back together they go.

I like the look of the cleared corners myself. I think it sets your car apart from other cars like it.

i didnt heat mine up... had it in room temp for a couple hours...

take off the spring clamps first and start working on it... if you think its getting over ur head at that point.. just stop and put it back together...

once you get it apart you will really impress yourself and let the modding begin!
