Thread: Cheap Visual Mods

Window tint, tinted tails are pretty cheap to do yourself

debadge it and paint the calipers!

i put these red LED door handle lights on the outside of the car and I've gotten more compliments on them than anything else ive done to the car. but i also tinted the tails and powdercoated the brake calipers.

here's a link to a simliar product, i paid like 18 bucks for a set of 2 at advance auto parts...

Do you know if those are still available? I'd like to get some, they look pretty sweet.

You can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat up the badge you are going to remove. Then use something like fishing line to get behind the badge and help you remove it. There will be adhesive left on the car so use something like goo gone or 3M adhesive remover to remove it. After that you are good to go.

Goo Gone or WD40. Just use them in moderation.

get some overlays from reflective concepts

What also works real well for the adhesive is a eraser. You can get one for your drill and it works great..

That's probably one of the studpidest things ever. They look terrible and why you would get compliments on it is beyond me... Must be hanging around the rice crowd.

hid's will make the car look nicer at night. and give u more light output.

THOSE grills are ugly. they are flat and have no depth to them. you need something like the street scene grills. something with a nice shape to it.

agreed. honestly wouldnt do grilles. stock ones look good especially if you make a grille badge for them
