next is this little gem 3 stage of course:evil: 👿October 30, 2008 at 6:15 am #11687Let me get this right. you took the headlights out and painted the hood scoop seperate (which surprised me by the way) on a 300,000 mile hay hauler. But you put the headlights, bumper and hood emblem on the lexus before painting it.:P I’m embarrased. That is a pretty nice masking job though. still can’t belive you didn’t bolt that scoop in first
October 30, 2008 at 6:49 am #11688okay ding im pulling the lights an the emblem on the lexus before i paint it but not pullin the bmper cover i just wanted ta make sure the chinese put the holes in the right spot for the emblem:P 😛 after all you….. if anyone should know what to watch for on those chinese parts still i havent been offerd any free t shirts though:lol: 😆 😆 btw the hood on the suby is oem;)
