    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Wetsand it, with a lot of elbow grease you will see results after the whole process has been done. I've done it on my Prelude.


    I found this link too if anyone cares.

    Depends on which car you have? I replaced my lenses, for 25 dollars a side?

    Not expensive, looks brand new.
