Anyone know if our front headlight cover could be remove?? I like to replace just the front cover due to chips and scratch from rocks hitting the front headlight. Can this be done?? Also is there replacement just for the front cover??

No, there is no replacement part for the headlight covers. You can only by complete headlights. (650 a set)

Mine were scratched and pitted alittle. I installed a "Clear Bra" over the headlights only. Since I installed it about 1 year ago (cost me $45) I have driven about 20k miles and my headlight still look new. This was the main reason we (Rick's) started to carry these.

The glue on the clear bar fills in the scratches and some of the minor pits. So for $40 it is worth a shot to save 600.

IMHO it was well worth it for me.

Easy. Think Window Tint. it took me 15 min to do my set, and then 10 min to do another owner who stopped by the same day.

I post a few pics, but you can't see anything. It is only 30mil thick.

Here is a link to a 3M installation guide.

Bumping an old post because its relevant to me.

Do you still sell this film, just for the headlights? I was just on the Rick's web site and didn't see it.

I want to prevent rock dings of course, but my main objective is to slow or prevent yellowing and preserve clarity of the plastic cover. I did find a 3M film product pre-cut for the S2000 headlights at the website below. I'd rather buy it from Ricks if its available.

You can actually just sand them down with 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 grit sand paper, then finish off with some rubbing compound. It will take a couple of hours but once finished, it will look brand new. Otherwise, there is no replacement lenses made.
