Talking FINALLY did some DIY stuff to my X5

I just thought I'd share some info/pictures on what I recently did to my X5 today/yesterday/last month.

1. I plastidipped my original 3.0i rims to a matte black.
2. Plastidipped the roof gloss black.
3. Sanded the exhaust tips to get the chrome effect on it (and YES those are the stock exhaust tips!!)
4. Sanded down the headlights and restored them WHAT A DIFFERENCE

Has anyone tried the Headlight restoration kits? I find them garbage as I had bought one a while ago and the foggy headlamps came back right after. I decided to DIY headlight restoration using different sand paper grits, wet sand it, then at the end use some Turtle Wax Scratch remover to take away the micro scratches that even the finest sandpaper wont take away. I used my Porter Cable 7424xp for that step with the scratch remover to buff the headlights to its brand new look again. After that I wanted to put a sealant on so I used Meguiars Plast X after I was done everything else.
