    Default 7-15-09 GS300 TTE Lip install and Headlamp Restoration

    Helped my buddy Daniel with his GS300 the other day with reinstalling his lip and restoring his headlamp lenses.



    This is me excited about my newest tools!











    Taking things apart











    Kenny helped too!











    Restoring the headlamp lenses















    Done











    Bringing the bumper inside for the lip install







    Applying epoxy















    The epoxy melting the tray



















    Putting everything back together



















    Done

    Nice work. Where did you get the buffing pad for the drill? And what compounds did you use on the lights?

    very nice, although the lip is too subtle and could be a little more dramatic

    Wow, that looks awesome!

    Looks like that buffer did the trick on the headlights. What product did you use?
