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

2013 and california so I am preparing for smog this year. (June/July) and I am starting to get a bit more serious about tracking. This kit is unfortunately not very efficient for track use.

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...)

100% get it. This kit would be miserable on track compared to a centrifugal setup if you need SC and track. Look forward to that endeavor!

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.

Can you link the kit you used?

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

I wish there was a way to replace the whole glass for cheap, but that doesn't seem to exist.

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.

Polish and then just wax them every time you wash your car.

^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.

Car looks good.

Looks like it's time for a garage sale -
