Long time no update...
Truck update!
I got one of those Meguiars Heavy Duty Headlight polishing kits for Christmas - I finally had the time to use it.
The kit comes with a buffing wheel, Plastix polishing compound, and a UV protectant sealant - and 2 sanding disks - 1000 grit and 3000 grit.
Since I had 7 lights to do on my truck - I quickly blew through the 1000 grit sanding disk - luckily I had a sheet of 1000 grit sand paper in my shop - and ended up using that for the rest of the lights.
I think its a decent kit - just wish it had more sanding disks with it.
The best part I noticed that it helped was on the fog lights - the headlights had some hazing and yellowing - and it took care of that as well.

Finally after hoarding car parts for 4 years - I finally got all of the bits and pieces for the Z06 front fender swap!
If you look back I think I got the first z06 fender back in like 2009.
I ordered the hardware and all the plastic crap for front end swap from Gmpartshouse - they worked with me on all the pieces that needed to be ordered and everything came in 4 big boxes.
I took the fenders and bumper to my body guy - and he painted everything and put it all together.
I also had a decision to make for the front splitter - either go with the GM plastic piece for the z06 - or go with a set of aftermarket RPI ZR1 style front and side skirts.
I went with the RPI pieces as they are way cheaper then GM's - and if I ever smack the front end up - it wont be that expensive to replace compared to a $1400 CF splitter from GM.
Also - to not piss off the purist - I had my body guy shave the Z06 fender badge holes in the CF fenders.
I got the car back last night - and I installed the zr1 side skirts.
