Yuppers! (That's why I said "IF", lol) I'm glad my wifes car didn't have the Mach audio.

nice job! they turned out really well. mine were a LOT worse than yours though... you can't see it well from the picture i guess but mine were just yellow. the 3m kit comes with a drill attachment pad thingy, and velcro "stikit" sandpaper in grits 500 and 800, followed by a special 3000 wet sandpaper pad, giving a more smooth and polished finish. when you use the polish after that, it really looks slick. i had to take off so much that i actually clogged up all the 500 pads, which would have been a lot worse had i started with something like the 1500 you used.

i am eying the pypes cat-back, as my buddy really wants my flowmasters and i want a different more raw sound. borlas sound great too, but i like the less refined pypes violator mufflers better.


and yes, i am VERY glad i don't have that stupid mach system- it's a cool setup but it'd really suck if i wanted to upgrade it.

Yeah, I can get away with less on my lights because the lenses aren't clear, they have the light diffusers. All I had to do was sand off the yellow crap and polish. My sisters 98 Cadillac has lenses like yours, you can see the bulbs. I used that 3M kit on her lights and it worked great. Here is a pic. This light was BAD, you couldn't see through it at all and it was horribly pitted.
