Thanks for the tips guys... a few questions for (any of) you before I start... I think I found a little project for today

I have Meguiar's Scratch X and Plastic X... is that what you mean by swirl remover? (I think Scratch X is for the body, and Plastic X is for the stock headlights/taillights)... which one should I use?
Also, hand polishing? Or with a orbital?
And... wax? Like my regular wax?

also, keep in mind the LED alarm that you put on attracts a lot of attention... sometimes from the wrong ppl... just be careful or lower the mounting point you have
I had removed all the smaller emblems... I really like the "Solara" so there's no way I was gonna take that off... and I think I picked up the "cowboy hat" from one of these posts
Thought it fit and a good way to describe it so other people know what I mean
As for the LED, yeah, I had thought about that too... since I already disconnected the other LED, this one has to be visible... and since I don't drive too much, I figured it wouldn't be TOO risky...

I had originally planned on going... but it all depends on whether my car is put back together. As it stands, it should be, but I didn't want to commit until I was absolutely sure (next week and a half)... rest assured, after all this work, I definitely want you guys to see it!
Once again, thanks for all the comments (and help) guys... I really appreciate it.
