I agree. You will end up:
A. melting the plastic
or
B. over sanding, causing loss of detail and possibly uneven surfaces
All you want to do is score the surface slightly so that it will hold the base coat, anything more than that and you are ruining them.
Don't be lazy guys.... and don't cut corners. If anyone doesn't want to put the time and work into them to do them right, send them to me and I will do them for you.... for a fee ofcourse

LOL, you all see right through me. Not trying to cut corners, just wondering if there is a faster way of doing the sanding. I will definitely pick up some sandpaper and give it a try though.

It only takes a couple minutes each to do this

I'm thinking about doing the headlights but smoking the exposed amber so it lights up like a mulderized light but looks like a smoked diffuser. What do you guys think?
Quick ? and i know im probably gunna get flamed for this one but has onyone thought about or attempted to color match them to the car as well as the rest of the headlight housing or do you think it would be too Corvette C6 looking....Just a thought
But on the other note Im goin Mulderize mine when i get a chance. The S is a DD so i have to find a day to do it.
