This guy did an awesome job!! Did you mean Flatbush Ave.? Too bad he's not here in Dallas! what a great value both for the car and for the work... what part of Jersey are you in? I used to live in Eatontown in the mid-1970's. We were within driving distance of NYC and went there often (I have tons of relatives in Brooklyn). We had that nice black-tarred driveway there - in Dallas they don't do that - car would get stuck on the melted tar in the summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bIz78 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 LexusGS400RacerX, did you replace your headlights or had them cleaned? I need to clean mine...it's getting somewhat foggy like I got some kind of film on some part of the lens. Any ideas on how to clean without replacing them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexusGS400RacerX Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 BIz, I did not replace my head lights, they're basically brand new, but what I would suggest is doing this. Remove your head lights, take sandpaper at 200 level, some cleaning utensils, and some cleaning substances. Set your headlights on a flat surface, clean the outside and inside of the headlights with the sandpaper. Wipe it off with your cleaning substance. Edit: Oh and please do remember to put some filler on the sides so moisture doesn't get into the head lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexatlast Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm located in the piscataway/new brunswick area. I'm looking for a good body shop (for various body work, like kits and debadging), automotive paint shop, and someplace that knows their way around a lexus engine bay cause i wanna do some modding for performance (it is the 2jz after all).

LexusGS400RacerX Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 If you have the time, come down to Iselin, NJ. There are a few body shops down here for cheap. There are also tune shops available here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
