Jarek, thanks a bunch for the work you did on my headlights. They turned out even better than expected! Worth posting now that I've painted the grille to match so the front-end makeover is complete.

I'd definitely recommend his work to anyone else that's considering having this done.

I used Krylon stained glass paint. Hard to work with. If you apply one coat too much yellow will turn orange/gold.

I feel very confident in getting mine done on Thursday before the meet! Thinking about doing taillights too. Anyone have pictures of taillights done on a '12 sedan?

Amazing job!
Huge thanks to Jarek for doing my headlights, fog lights, as well as fixing my bracket for my bumper! Really great guy, and outstanding work!

Sorry I do not have a before, but these are the after headlight look. (With the setting at 2 I think, for the longer headlight angle)

Not really a long trip, but I have used my high beams a bit. I can still see really well!
