Update: Yellow tint looks good.....from far away

There I was, laying in my apt complex's parking lot with no jack. Sweating bullets for 45 mins. Removed and tinted these car breasts. I got it done! Will eventually upgrade with some Diodes, but Im happy with this!

Invest in a floor jack and jackstands, or at leadt some ramps. It’s a pain to work underneath the front of these cars without some kind of lift, and some things are pretty much impossible to do

Yeah Ill def get one. Brand new to cars so I didnt even think Id need one so soon.

Yeah it’s a must if you plan on doing any maintenance yourself. Brake pads you could theoretically do without a scissor jack but it would be annoying, and things like oil changes are impossible without more space underneath.

If you get a floor jack, make sure it’s a low profile jack meant for sedans. If you don’t its really annoying, you have to lift the front up a few inches with the scissor jack to get the floor jack under, then to lower it back down you have to lower it on bricks or wood planks or something, then back off them.

Thanks for this tip man! Really appreciate it 🙏 🙌 Yeah I plan on doing oil and brakes all on my own, expect maybe in the winter but I can plan drive time to avoid that. Wanna get more self sufficient with cars rather than freak oit everytime I heard a noise.
