Totally agree, 97% improvement when i did my headlights with the 3m kit. Almost look brand new again.

Even an inch drop will look fantastic.

You are right about my headlights. So what is it call? 3m? i havnt took this car out in 6 months and i really want to drop the car and fix the headlights. Any insight on those?

What product should i get to clean the headlights?
How should i properly drop my car without compromising with the smooth ride?

its called 3M headlights restoration or Meguiars headlights restoration. you buy it as a kit in a box.

there are many options on lowering you car, you can go with lowering springs, limited lowering but, or you can go with coilovers. adjustable height and adjustable ride. id go for the coilovers as I went with H&R lowering springs on my E and not totally happy with it. I wish I went with coilovers. but its just me.
