    Hi Bob,

    I really haven't taken any good pictures of the wheels but here is a link to a picture taken by Ernest which looks good: http://928oc.org/Events/Tass_2008/Pages/55.html

    The wheels are factory painted to match body color and judging by the appearance they are painted and clearcoated like the car.

    Let me know if you need detailed pictures, I can email them...

    Would you post a picture of your wheels? Are those DS90's? Painted? Powdercoated? I have thought of doing something similar.
    Thanks very much.

    Step 3
    Also clean the outside of the lense, especially the top and bottom on the outside which builds up with dirt/water stains etc. Cleaning, Polishing and waxing the paint around the lense (on the bumper) also helps, the paint will act as a reflector and give a newer appearance to everything.

    This procedure won't remove pitting but it will definitely improve the overall look. Good luck and post some before/after pics.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Kind Regards,
    Afshin

    Step 2

    Once the lenses are off you will need to remove one of the reflectors to get access to 3/4 of the glass lense. Glass polish isn't really necessary, just use a blend of alcohol/water and a clean microfiber to wipe the lense. To get access to the area behind the second reflector you can use cotton swabs or something similar that can reach the lense. The inside of the lense has bumps in it and I've found that cleaning between the bumps really helps bring the clarity back. When you have the the larger reflector out, gently wipe it with a lightly dampened (with water) soft cloth. Go easy on this because the finish can scratch.

    Hi Chuck,

    A bit under the weather but having a good Christmas, hope you're also enjoying it!

    Step 1:
    The Fog Lenses are an easy one, just time consuming. First you'll want to completely remove the lenses which are held in place with four screws. You will need to remove the corner pieces and the rubber bumperettes to get to the screws.

    Afshin,

    Hope you're having a great Xmas! Just pulling up one of your old posts as I've got some time to detail the Charlie Car this week. Wondering how you cleaned the fog lamp assembly after you got the car. Was this with glass polish or what?
    One of my many "To do's" with the GTS.

    Thanks man!
