I don't think that there is an authorized STONGARD installer here in Houston. One guy flew in from Georgia to do Shingles(yellow) and RudyW(silver). I went by and saw the installation. It will take close to 2-3 hours for a good install.

Whatevery you do, don't stongard your headlights. It will put tiny hairline cracks that won't be warranteed by Honda nor will STONGARD replace for you. Just and FYI.

Joe,

I have seen STONEGUARD headlights on Dave's, and there were no cracks. I think the cracks were due to the cleaning agent that they used to clean the headlights, it somehow reacted with the headlight housing.

hmmm not to revisit this issue again, but just as a precaution it shouldn't be applied. talk to rudy about this as well.

my hypothesis is the exposure to sunlight with the headlight covers on will accellerate the wear of the lights themselves causing the lines. that's just my take. do a search on stonegard before vouching for the installation.

What the guy at Formula one said is that the headlight covers made by stoneguard are 8 mm thick so they trap to much heat inside the headlght housing and that is what causes the housings to crack. He recomended a brand named Expel bc there headlight coverings are only half as thick, thus releasing more heat.
