Default Yet Another Great RLSebring Transaction

Two and a half weeks ago I contacted Robert about a new set of headlights which needed to be painted LeMans Blue to match the car.

As he was getting ready to ship them, Robert contacted me to tell me that found some very small but noticeable chips on the leading edge of the painted bezel on one of the headlights. We agreed that his painter would correct the chips and less than a week later, the lights were shipped and in my hands.

I had the lights installed and the outcome is amazing. After 142k miles, my headlights looked like they had been sandblasted and the resulting appearance was less than pleasing. Now, the headlights look just like the day I drove the car off the lot.

If you ever need to have new lenses or bezels painted, contact Robert; you will not be disappointed.

Here is pic showing the before and after...

Robert is the go to guy for anything headlight related. He does great work, great communications on any transaction, and is always willing to help out.
The comparison of the "before" and "after" of your headlights is amazing!

Yes, they look very good indeed.

Can you tell a difference in light output? Just trying to get a feel for whether it's just a cosmetic issue, or a safety problem.

Fantastic. That's what I can use but I won't remove the bumper. I wish I was closer to Robert so I would have him do it. He is northern fl and I'm middle to lower east coast fl

With 142k miles on the car, if you look at the front end of the car, I quit worrying about the chips a long time so it wasn't cosmetic and I did have a distinct drop off in the output...it was diffused and I didn't like driving at night...

When I went out for a drive last night, the difference was very noticeable (dare I say it: like night and day).
