Wet sand the plastics (400 grit-1000grit) and then use a heat gun to make em shine

heat gun? like a torch or the hand held lighter things? im 16 u gotta work with me lol

We used a torch but I wouldnt advise it its a pita a heat gun would be best. Google heat gun its like a hair dryer on steroids

a good buffing compound for plastics and a high speed buffer would work to

My neighbor (whose a fairly young guy as well).. He used a piece of a plastic milk jug to cover his headlight mount.

It's cheap. Easy to bend, and work with. And it's pretty tuff..
Just cut it to fit the hole (about a good inch of overlap) drill about 4 to 6 six holes, and rivet it on.

Then mask off the surrounding area, and paint it if you want.. I would advise painting it "on the hood" to avoid chipping.

oh yeah a heat gun will take those lines straight out, it worked for me pretty well a while back

 

[BornWithNoBrains]

kk awsome thanks a mil. im getting the sheet metal tomorrow to make he hood mod. so i should sand it down then just heat it up?

 

[duneracerweston]

if you wet sand it first it will stay and look much better and is les likely to come back.

 

[duneracerweston]

wet sand then heat has the best oput come but those suckers need to be 100% clean before you heat it or the dirt will fuse to the plastic

 

[BornWithNoBrains]

i wet sanded it and it still came back im going to have to buy a heat gun !

 

[88WarriorBoy]

a hair dryer can be used it just takes AWHILE lol
