3000 grit is pretty smooth. I can say that I've even seen it before. What is it, construction paper? :D
Here is my order for headlights:
1. 800 grit
2. 1000 grit
3. 1500 grit
4. Polishing compound
5. Light polishing compound (clearcoat safe)
6. Wax

Yeah, I smoked the front lights on the '96. It involved taking apart all of the lights (the corners were a PAIN) and using high-temp black paint on the non-reflective surfaces. It's tough to explain, but it makes the car look badass.

Here it is when I bought it:

Those are all the same lights and everything.

I was thinking black with sandalwood...ewwww, so I had to Photoshop it. I must say, it looks pretty good. I'll keep my two-tone when I repaint though.

Hoooray for turbines.  If you still want to smoke you lenses VHT makes this stuff called nightshades, works great i did my taillights right after i bought the car and they still look great.
