Helped my buddy Daniel with his GS300 the other day with reinstalling his lip and restoring his headlamp lenses.



This is me excited about my newest tools!

[swollix]

Nice work. Where did you get the buffing pad for the drill? And what compounds did you use on the lights?

[DynamicSound]

very nice, although the lip is too subtle and could be a little more dramatic

[Slow99coupe]

Nice work. Where did you get the buffing pad for the drill? And what compounds did you use on the lights?

i used a combo of the 3m plastic cleaner and plastic polish. the pad was also 3m made for a drill bit

[carbongs]

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

[Crazy Asian]

I see the car all the time in my neighbor hood. My friend from LA that is the most bad ass GS he's seen in a while. Nice tuck and the rims compliment the car.

[DynamicSound]

very nice, although the lip is too subtle and could be a little more dramatic

That is what I like...subtle, but still unique looking.
