As should the term "restoration". That's like going to Home Depot and buying primer, bondo, and paint and saying you're "restoring" your GT500 to "showroom quality".

I've yet to see any kit reach what I would consider anything close to a "band aid" situation.

Took my JDMs to californiacarglass.com in Redwood City and I am truly pleased

Sam, the owner of this small, used-car sales lot was very nice and he used a 5 step system with different sanding levels and he even carefully applied a new UV coat. Then he also has special lights to ensure that each headlight is cured properly. Took him 45 minutes and cost 60 bucks. I thought it was well worth it.

Yeah, that's what I did. Just call, tell him "Joe with the white WRX" sent you, and he'll hook you up.
