Looking good, One thing ive learned is to NEVER use superglue near clear plastic. I cant figure out how to get rid of the fog though

Superglue is a definite no no when used around clear plastic. I guess you can sand it down with real fine grit then use a polishing compound..

LOL! 1 lesson learned for you. Happened to me once.

I glued a peice to my chevell and it fogged the chrome and paint a little.

So I rubbed a little nail polish remover on the paint and chrome parts and the fog came off a little.

I dripped nail polish remover on the trunk. I let it sit there for around 15 to 30 seconds. I thought to myself I dont think it will rip through the paint. When I wiped it off it looked like it burned a hole in my paint but in didn't burn through all the paint.

Nail polish remover/acetone is suppused to take superglue off your fingers, That's why I thought of this.

Don't do it on the window, do what daggerlee said.
