The headlights are peeling, the clear part is the only remaining layer of protection from the factory. Sand them down, making sure you get all of that layer off, polish them up, and then throw some wax on them.

That empty vacuum port is supposed to be like that, its the vent for the BCS. There is supposed to be a foam filter on it, but its not necessary.

Thanx for info haro...the body of the car looks great except for some very minor damage passenger side front bumper cover as you can see in pic.The bumper cover on that side is also closer to the road, not very noticable, only realized this when i was driving it up on the car ramps..will have to see whats with that later.
