    Hell yeah. Should try buying a bulk roll of 20% window tint and installing that on the simple builds. And subtract the % amount you paid for the roll. Will probably come out to ~5-10 bucks per window.

      @Pinkielover 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      100% illegal Unless you check your state Window tints not cheap if you get the good stuff then you need to install it correctly which most people can't ..lol Me I can install tint Just a pain in the ass especially the back window I can did my full car it was a couple hundred dollars just for the tint No cheap stuff it wouldn't last long out here in the desert

  • @jords844
    @jords844 2 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    A great tip for when painting rims whilst still on the car is to use bags/paper to protect the fenders. Overspray can get everywhere so ofc the best bet is to mask everything but if you don’t have time for that a safe bet would be to mask 1.5-2 meters around your spray area, maybe more if you’re spraying outside with wind

    You can remove the little Lexus logos on the center caps. It takes some time but worth it to keep the little chrome logo. Then you can paint the center caps black to match the wheels. After, you can plastic weld/glue them back on. I did this with my SC430.
    That way you don’t have those goofy silver caps in the middle. All in the details.
