Is it possible to do a 3.0 and new tranny for under $2700? Being a I4 5-speed guy this is new ground for me. Seems like lots of folks are doing the swap. To bad you weren't closer to Iowa, I could help with your dent/paint problem.

P.S. I think Vanderjagt was paid off  Huh

Some of the best people you'd meet.

I agree. First time wife and I met them, they were like family, only better because they were fun to be around. Always helpful also.

Might try calling the service dept. at a local Chrysler/Dodge dealer to see if there is any difference. I hate for you to buy some new ones that don't fit, especially after I said they should. I'm not 100% on that.

Hey Chris- First off, Welcome to the board. To the best of my knowledge, sebring headlights are all the same, avengers differ from 96-97. Someone please correct me on this if I'm wrong. If your lens are all fogged over, turning yellow, you should try and sand them down and buff them, before you spend money on a new pair. I can 99% guarantee this will work if you have the patience. I have done this on my own cars, so have many other members here, and mine were real bad.

  • remove headlights from car, might have to loosen the top of the fenders to gain clearance.
  • wash off dirt/road grim and dry headlights
  • here you have 2 choices: A. wet sanding (using water while with sand paper) or B. dry sanding.
  • I personally dry sanded my headlights, but you must use a high speed buffer to polish out the scratches.
  • dry sand procedure: I started out with 800 grit (sounds bad, but it worked great) and sanded until you see the white surface from sanding turn to a clearer (not as white) across the whole headlight, when in doubt- keep sanding, you won't sand thru your headlight. I then moved on to a 1200 grit sand paper, smooth out the 800 grit scratches by sanding with the 1200 grit, onto 1800 or 2000 grit to smooth out the 1200 grit scratches. The higher grit you go seems like not much is happening, but it is, really look at what your doing, you'll see it happening. Now take a damp cloth and wipe all the dust off of the head light. Your ready to buff the headlight now, using a buffing compound squirt some on the head light and use the high speed buffer at a medium rate of speed to "work" the compound into the headlight. The headlight lens will get warm from doing this, that is what you want. After a few passes you should be seeing something very good happening, use more compound and keep at it. Once you have got the lens looking good, move onto a hand glaze. Hand glaze is a light weight compound used as a final polish. Squirt some on the headlights and start buffing again, this time with a higher speed on the buffer. This will get the lens really warm, almost hot. What you are actually doing is melting together any small remaining scratches and putting on a mirror-like shine. Again, use lots of hand glaze.
  • wet sanding procedures: is just like dry sanding except you start with 1200 grit sand paper and keep the headlight lens wet while sanding. Using water and higher grit papers prevents you from putting scratches too deep to remove by polishing by hand (without a high speed buffer). Alot more work, but you can get the same great results.

If your not comfortable about buffing, call a local body shop and see if they would buff them for you, all you would have to do is the sanding.

Ya know, the more I try to picture it maybe clear would look good. Can I borrow yours for a week end, lol.

Your car is the first I've seen that the amber corners look good on!

Thanks   Tongue, I thought clear on white was pointless.

Sure can, just about any vendor will do this. Here is a link with 2 styles.
http://www.sportcompactonly.com/products.aspx?l=2&c=97

There are alot of vedors and prices (keep an eye on shipping) to look at. Also do a search on this site in the for sale forum. From time to time, you can get a great deal here.

Good luck  Smiley

How can you be sure. If your religion forbids it, then you're right, no one in your religion should approve of Gay marriage.

WOOHOO, That means I'm right! Smiley

Just curious, but can't a hetero sexual, semi-conservative, born again Christian, tax paying, American born and bred, flag bearin patriotic, domestic driven, hard workin guy have anything that can be left sacred? If they want to make it legal, fine, but can't they called it something other than "marriage"? Oh I know that will "put them in a class" ..........duh, they are in a class, we're all in a class some how. I have no problem with same sex marriages having all the same benefits of a "traditional" marriage, I just think that opposite sex marriages that can stay together with out killing each other are entitled to some perks, LOL.
