    Can’t believe you painted that bumper on the car and left the lic plate on and fog lights in:P and why does it look like half of that radiator support is red

    Once it’s driven through the pasture to feed the cows do ya think they’d notice 😛

    I think it’s easier to remove the bumper, compared to tapeing the car off.
    I can hang it and keep it cleaner that way.
    But hey, good job, it looks good.B)

    ta be honest i always pull the front cover but this one was one of those unique situations that i was afraid to!!! first time i have paited a cover on a car in yrs the thing that pissed me off is i had ta respray it cuz the color was so far off whats scary is that cover actully came out clean:blink: :blink: i just kinda tippy toed my way thru this one cuz of all the previous repair work seemed like the thing to do in this particular case:evil: 👿

    Let 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 #11688

    okay 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;)
