Just picked up my 95 S14. Poor thing was a drift slut but I took her in and immediately converted her to a good gurl DD shes looking better already.













After I put the new bumper on and did my very own headlight resto it's looking much better getting ready for some paint soon!

What did you use to restore the headlights?

I got a Turtle Wax kit from Oreilly when I did mine. It only costs about $10 (IIRC), has everything you need, and does the job.

[ka-titties]

whelp never mind

[Almighty So]

lol sand and clear the headlights, not some $10 turtle wax kit

1500 grit then 2000 grit then I dried them and used 2 coats of just a regular clear coat.

It's works real nicely, I'm sure if I would have spent more time I could have gotten even more oxidation off but it looks pretty good to me so far.

[Almighty So]

For full headlights, sand around 4-500 rpm or by hand with the following:
1200
1500
1800
2000
By now your headlights should be pretty murky looking. You can start at a higher grit if the oxidation isn't too bad. The worse it is, the lower grit you'll need.
After this, hit it with a 3000 to really smooth it out.
Clear coat over and done.
Should look brand new unless you messed up.

But my question is do you guy think this is fixable ? My car is sitting in a tow yard now. Idk much insurance money Im gonna get from it. Luckily my parents are well off so I have the option to get a brand new car but I love my car and would want to continue to own it if possible.

What would be the best course of action ? part out ? keep car if possible ? take parents offer of 2015 VW Passat ?

REALITY CHECK: Attorney/Lawyer will take 30% - 40% of any payout

Step 1: Know what the real value of your car was/is.
If your interior was in good shape, dash no cracks, no tears rips or cigarette burns, and exterior was solid, your car is a $4500 car+ 3000 in related upgraded parts for a total of $7,500
Step 2: IF you are going to rebuild it, take it to a shop who does this, and get their estimate IF YOUR STATE IS NOT A PERCENTAGE BASED total loss state
Step 3: Know the value of your injuries. Make sure you go to the Dr and get a total work up on your injuries.
Let YOUR insurance company know your injuries, and file a CLAIM AGAINST the other company(Lady's insurance) She is at total fault because driving and drinking.
Step 4: Compile a total amount of the car and medical claim by sitting down with your insurance to get the amount for each injury, AND total LOSS OF WORK HOURS/PAY
Step 5: File this ^^^ amount through your insurance company against her insurance company. The insurance companies do this FREE OF CHARGE FOR YOU. They know what your injuries are worth BASED on past history of payouts for 'kind'.

A Lawyer will only suck up money that you should get, as I said, to the tune of 30% - 45% As your payout will be less than $75,000(figure around $2500 per 'hurt part', plus value of damage on car for repairs. That rear lift on the subframe, that pulls down in a frame rack, the body panels are either sourced new or used and it looks like about a $4500 - $5000 job, and another $1000 for paint match

^^^Specs on those 968's please. Considering a set for heavy abuse.

For those of you with the white face(SE) clusters, is there any way to keep the lights behind the face from(for lack of a better description) "Bleeding" through? The black dials with leds look great, but look horribly cheap on the white faces.

Same broken Zenki.

For my headlights, I went from 800 grit to 1000, to 1500, 2000 and 3000 in the end Havent cleared them yet but plan too eventually. Mine were pretty badly yellow. People thought I had them tinted that way haha I didnt though. Once i put the lens back on ill try and snap a comparison photo. Only took the lenses off to remove black surrounding paint from previous owner.

If you're going to clear coat them, which is the best way, do 400 then 800 then clear with a 2k clearcoat. Don't do any more than 1000 grit or you will not have a good enough key on the surface. Here's a set I did this way a few years ago.

I appreciate the tip. I dont know much about painting supplies. Was just told to use some automotive clear coat from the vatozone or somewhere similar.
