Yeah that's basically what was in the Meguire's headlight restoration kit I used. They're still a little hazy but much better than before

Well I thought I had made a progress thread on here awhile back but I couldn't find it for the life of me, so here's my 2003 True Blue scab. Nothing too major has been done to it, just little things here and there that I thought made it a little more unique without taking away from the OE look (I want it to look like a package that would've came from the factory - like if they made an FX2 model in 2003) -- don't worry, no stickers 
So here's the pics, start to present
Here's the truck when I first bought it in Jan. 2008 I believe. I bought it from my brother with just under 87k miles on her. Hated the tu-tone but got a great deal since it came from my older brother
plane-jane interior
first mod - FX4 wheels and toolbox removal
then I painted the dash and door panels for a tu-tone interior
Next, the truck sat in a hail storm and insurance paid for a new paint job (and hood, 4x4 valance/fogs ). Somewhere inbetween I got the 2" springtech spacer kit (junk btw) and Flowmaster si/do exhaust.
Then a painted radio surround and Pioneer deh-p5000ub. Also have Rockford Fosgate p300.1 amp with 2 10" JBL GTO subs. Won't rattle the neighbors' windows but suits my needs just fine and sounds great imo.

Sometime around this time hit 100k :/
Then found an expy console and bucket seats, painted it black.
Took of the crappy Springtech 2" coil spacer because it broke a shock and rode like a brick. Sometime around this time installed a billet grille.
Got tired of the billet grille, installed a Lightning grille and briefly had 2" rear drop shackles. Didn't feel like they looked right on the truck with the FX4s and all terrains though so I took them off and sold them with the billet grille.
Leather interior - pic was taken right after installation. Wrinkles have gone away by now. Sorry this is the only pic I have.
Got an Edge programmer and did the LED cluster swap to blue bulbs.
