Not to mention without out some form of sealant they’ll cloud up even quicker and probably worse than they were before you started

What i do with mine is put toothpaste on them, get a scotch pad and scrub it. Let it sit, then hose off. Scrub with water and toothpaste again.
Then use waterless wash & wax. Comes up really good.

autosol and a buffer pad also works wonders.

 

straight criss cross lines when sanding, no swirling motion, start at like, 240 and work your way up to 2000 grit, keep it REALLY wet (wet sponge dribbling water while sanding works well)

 

then clear coat of some sort.

 

or just use autosol.

+1 ^ Yep, a buffer, cutting compound and headlight sealer is what I did. 

 

I was tired of looking at my misaligned bumper but since it was off I decided to freshen the headlights up a bit as well. Came out quite well. I did not expect to do this and wanted to tint my front headlights as well so it does not fog up in the future but oh well.

So new wheels happened on Friday. I really like the look of these ones. Will post pics when ive cleaned them up. I need centre caps too.

New double din headunit installed and made a new shift boot. Installed blitz boost gauge also.

Had to call it quits as i have a kidney stone so pain kicked in.

Worked on the car over the weekend.
Thanks to @Zenki the rear guards are now rolled.
Replaced brake/tail, reverse, park, and puddle lights with LEDs. Had already replaced boot, interior and plate lights.

Half installed a hardwiring kit for my radar, power from the centre console 12V accessory and grounded via a chassis bolt (tested both using a multi-meter). Need to route the cable from the controller unit to the radar through the dash at some point but it's tidier than the cigarette adapter with the coiled cable and frees up the cig lighter port for my phone charger.

Fuel pump aquired, paid the $15 extra for e85 version 'just in case'. geez look how tiny that fuel sock is! Couldn't find oem sock to order in advance, I do hope the one currently in my tank is still a good condition oem one!

 

Off to drop off at ajays tomorrow

I wanna get rid of the amber lights on the fenders, whats the options for that? 

Also wanna sort out my Sti light covers...

 

 

You could just tint them black? Or get clear lenses? Taking them out completely would cost quite abit if you wanna do it properly

I just painted the diamond reflector bits gloss black and picked up some oem clear indicators to replace the orange ones.

Looks ok. Better than orange anyway.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
