Omg!
About half the cost of LC OEM replacements. It's gonna hurt, but it's worth it if you plan on keeping it long.
Oh yea, I’ve accepted my fate lol. They are way beyond polishing at this point and she’s a permanent member of the family.

Nice move! I've got a set in my garage waiting to be installed. New OEMs are worth it IMO. They look so nice! Like you guys, I got tired of polishing mine only to have them temporarily look mediocre at best.
I’m still holding tight on polishing. For $15 per that is a lot of polishing to get to $1k
Agreed. Takes me about 30min from start to finish and I won't replace unless someone can point me to a better replacement for a 2010....
Those of you that replace the housings should install clear PPF. It creates a UV-resistant layer that will delay the degradation of the plastic in addition to protecting them from scratches etc.
I put PPF on the Cruiser and LX as OEM HID/LED housings are north of $2,000 each.

I'd much rather spend the $1000 on something else, but mine have been polished a few times and are badly etched + UV damage on the top and have some weird hard water spots on the inside of the lenses.
^This is very good advice. The original owner of my 2013 had PPF put on the headlights, but only the front facing surface. The front facing surface looks new with zero degradation after 9 years. The top surface that did not get PPF covering looks pretty much how you would expect.

This is why I replaced mine. They looked good for about 1 month after polishing then back to looking even worse.
If you are talking about an LX the fascia is different on a 13+ If you dont change the grill and bumper skin then you'll have a slight gap.
Added the alucab awning
Awesome license plate - GO AFG!
Keep having a random p0446 escort leak code on cold start..
I know there’s a thread somewhere I just cannot remember the wording

LC200 got Method MR705 18x9 +25 with BFG KO2 275/70 18 which takes it from 31 to 33's. Stock suspension and fitment is good with slight rubbing on front mudflaps. Spacers up front in the near future but long term plans for suspension upgrade.
The minivan is still at the dealership. I was frustrated because I'm leaving for a road trip today and the only reason I took it to the dealer for a new starter is because I didn't have time to work on it myself this week. Was gonna get mad and raise a stink, but then they handed me the keys to a brand new GX 
Just to teach them a lesson, I'm going to take it up corona pass and get it good and dirty 
GX does feel pretty wimpy compared to the 200. Comparatively light and nimble, but WAY down in the power department.
