Good to hear, looks great!

What my plan is - come spring when the P5 comes out of hibernation - is to get them covered. It's not Rockblocker, and it's not the 3M stuff either... I forget the name, but it's optically clear (much clearer than the 3M) and a lot thinner, but it protects from chipping just as well as a lot of the thicker stuff. With these pretty new headlights, I don't want them all chipped and pitted to hell. Pics of the new, eyelid-tinted headlights, below - they go on the car tomorrow evening hopefully.

I taped the headlights, but unfortunately it didn't quite seal in a couple places, and I got a little leakage from the VHT. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove it without damaging the headlight lense?

ya, tapin stuff never seems to work well!
 
I tried not to wake her up when I snuck out early to cheat on her at the auto-x w/ the Yata ;)

agreed. (group)
 
Swapped Magnaflow muffler back to "civilized" street series 5x8 oval one from the rowdy race series one & got fresh set of 205/40/17s. Funny how one same size set of tires can differ from another just because of brands like clothes I guess. The new ones are just a bit taller(& not just because of new unworn tread) & bit wider looking on the rim which also means more civilized ride but less on rails feeling turns. Always the trade off. Glad I didn't go for the 215/40/17s cause they woulda rubbed. These will be good for daily driving, the others better for serious driving.
