I'm a big time tool geek too. My rule is if I have to buy a specialty tool to do the job and it cost me 25% less of paying someone to do it, I buy the tool and do it myself. Needless to say I have quite a few tools I've used only once. I don't always buy the best tool though...I'll admit that.

So close, yet so far away lol

I dug through the tool box for about 10 minutes and finally gave up and was just too lazy to go get one tonight. I have a whole bag of the elusive 10mm because well.....I'm pretty sure those things just self destruct after a few uses.

I like the blue better....and I think going to need a few more cans....

Question for you...I noticed you took your own tires to Discount for mounting and balancing. I just bought a set of 285/65R20 K02s on Ebay and got a really good deal.

Will Discount mount and Ground Force Balance the tires you don't buy from them?

Thanks!

Just got back from the tint shop. 35% over back glass and doors, 20% on front doors. Extremely happy with how it looks from the outside and inside. Took several pics, first three are in kind of shaded area.








Looking out obviously...






Different location with the sun to my back.

If I was a betting man...I would say maybe some to do with the tail lights? Especially because it's model paint for plastic.

Thank you, I'm actually thrilled with how it looks. I'm glad I went dark on the back 3.

You already had a hint lol

Ok, so here's what I'm going to attempt.




All taped up, ready to go.




On a side note...the wife, Duke (the 2 yr old fawn boxer) and I went on a 6 hour round trip to pick up this little guy. Reverse brindle seal boxer.



You can tell by Duke's smile he's thrilled. Haha
