Default Just had headlights done

A while a go Dennis C posted some pics of his headlights b4 and after he Dr. Headlight refinish them. They looked so good I looked in my area,but there were no franchises near me. I called the one in new jersey and the owner was good enough to come all the way out here(bout 1.5 hrs each way) Really impressed with the results.

Definitely need to do the pumpkins with the artic silver. I need to replace my avatar, but did both the pumpkins and plugs and it looks great. It takes less than 5 mintes.

It was $175, but it was more for him to come all the way out here. I think if your in nj it s 150, not sure though. If you want info pm me. Mine had already been done with a dig kit and were starting to go bad again. I opted to go this route because he resealed the plastic with epoxy,so any material that was sanded off was replaced and lifetime guarantee sounded gd to me

Holy crap! I'm calling my guy now!!!

Unfortunately the closest one to me is about 90 minutes away but I'll see if we can meet somewhere. Impressive results and the lifetime warranty makes it all worth the price.

I think that's the way the franchise is set up. The guy who did mine also had everything set up in his truck. For me, he was close so it was only $90.
