The Meguiar's kit comes with a sealant. It'll still happen eventually, the lenses are plastic

Few days ago boost came off the car but in some regards I kinda enjoy driving the car NA. It's a wierd feeling. I will miss the tq curve this kit provides think bell curve with less fall off at the end of the rpm range

I've driven a car with the Sprintex 210, it really felt perfect. What made you want to take it off? Genuinely curious; I have no investment in your car so I'm not putting you down for it

So to switch mid season would be a pain so I decided to pull it early and run the entire 2021 season without it. Hopefully this will also give me more longevity with the motor going back to NA. I want to turn this car into a dedicated track car and pull it off street ( cage, full weight reduction etc...) Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

As DarkPirate said, the kit comes with a sealant. Or polish them again. Or just replace them at some point. But for now, they're much improved for a few bucks and a little effort.

after the sealant, just regularly apply your favorite wax to them to easily double the life of the kit.

Mine are starting to show signs of fade, but with the car being street parked 100% of the time, I'm afraid a polish will just make things worse long-term. And replacement euro lights (with HIDs, like the 10 series) aren't cheap, like $1200+ for a set. |

^yep. of course, i haven't kept a car much longer than 2-3 years after detailing, but do the cleanup once, and then just typical clay bar and wax every few months is usually enough to not need to re-clean them.

Put the body kit back on. Car came with it when I got it but the double stick tape was coming undone in places and needed to be redone. Getting it off was a pain in the ass, but those adhesive erasers for your drill do actually work.
