You might also want to get a 2000 grid sand paper and scrub the headlights. Make sure you have a heavy flow of water going down the headlight while youre sanding. We used 800grid then 2000grid. I don't recommend 800. After sanding for a bit, wash (soap and water) the headlight then dry it. Now you can start to buff!

Can I send you my ticket...s? Haha, HPD LOVES the WS6. I can't get away driving at the speed of traffic with that car. That's part of the reason it's been sitting for 3 weeks. Thank goodness for defensive driving I guess. I could have bought a LI 4-head jammer by now. Anyways, looks like you guys had a good time last weekend. It's about time you guys opened an AMG tuner shop in Houston.

Yes it did turn out very good!

Now I would get some Aluminum Pedals (2005 1/2 + AMG Style), then pull the rubber inserts out, wrap them in carbon and then put the inserts back in. Would finish it off nicely!
