    I think it turned out pretty good. I did the bhlm and 3m headlight restoration and also truck bed lined the lower valance.

    Sorry about the pic quality...its about to storm outside and i took it with my cell.


    Future front end mods to come: eye lids (the clean looking ones), color matched 2011 grill, and an undercover winch mount and winch.

    So how did the 3M restoration go? Do you have any close up shots of the lights? Mine is not "that" bad, and wondering if I should go ahead and do it. In your opinion, do you think it was worth it for the money spent"

    Truck looks good from what I can see in the picture though.

    Ive tried using the turtle wax and meguires headlight kits and they suck! I was just going to buy a new set of lights until i seen all of the reviews on the 3m product. My friend actually used it before and it turned out nice. The 3m kit is the most involved kit...you use 3 different sanding discs and one buffing disc. My headlights were pretty bad off with yellowing/hazing and scratches from off roading. This kit is by far the best thing i have seen. My headlights are 100% clear and the scratches are even gone. Just follow the directions and you cant mess it up. Make sure you have a corded drill and not a battery powered drill

    I just used the 3M kit and am super pleased. They look new. It took a few hours but that was partly because the battery died and the new replacements I ordered did not arrive until I was finished. :) It was well worth the time and effort. I bought mine on Amazon, saved a bundle compared to local car parts stores.
