so decided to got to the junk yard with some friends to help them find parts for there honda's. well i split off and browse around alittle. i about shit myself when i found a 97-99 RS sitting in front of me. well in my efforts to return my GS back to running order. i ran over to see that the car was an auto. decided that maybe i could salvage the headlights and if i'm lucky the taillights are still intact. sure enough it's all there and in decent shape.
on the way home i picked up a powerball and already have some plastx at the house. so hopefully the headlights are able to be saved. i'll post up once i've tried the powerball.

good deal, I just sold a set of 2gb headlights (all be it with less haze) for $100+shipping. You basically got the tails for free (although they go cheap on ebay anyways)
Makes me wanna go to the junkyard tomorrow and see if there's anything new

yeah well i wasn't planning on buying anything yet and i couldn't skip this chance for parts. oh here's what the headlights look like now.
there is a residue on one headlight that hasn't come off. but i can't complain about how they look now.

They cleaned up nicely, good job
BTW you may be able to get rid of that one spot you're having issues with by doing a little light wet sanding

Not to thread jack, but i went out to the local pull a part today, and got a set of 2gb headlights that should clean up really nice, and a rear disk conversion w/ new wheel hubs for..... 50$ . We should sticky this and make it a "what you found at the Junkyard" thread or something.

Mine looked worse than those, and had that same type of "drip".
Id recommended wetsading with 1000 to 2500 grit, then hand buff with Meguiars ScratchX and SwirlX. Follow up with PlastX again and they should be cyrstal clear

It's usually bird droppings that's etched the lexan. wetsanding is the only way to remove that.
good find on the lamps. I need to get out to the yards once it warms up around here. unfortunately 2Gb cars are super rare. A's are pretty common though.

You might want to hit up halfass, it appears that he needs a set if you need some quick cash
