making it better

cover the headlight lens and fog lights with clear vinyl, it will protect the lens, use glass cleaner and a soft rag to get the air out. looks great when done

for those folks that get tired of reaching for the seat belt, try this. Get a shoe lace, loop it arround the seat belt and the outermost post on the headrest, keeps it in place and makes it easier to grasp.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.... It causes heat buildup (when the lights are on) that eventually puts tiny cracks in the headlight covers. The foglights should be fine though.

Really? I put the 3M Stone guard on my headlights and fog lights over a year ago and 30,00km+ later the lenses still look brand new.

On my 07 CS, theres a little elastic strap on the bottom of the seat where the seat back meats the seat bottom that snaps on and off. I use that and it makes reaching the seat belt easy.
