if your really into it then you would get it done right and not be scared or cheap about it and just get it painted... and what iSuxeL was referring to was that basically its not a honda do sht right the first time why go spending a couple hundred bucks to get it vinyled and end up liking tit and spending more on painting it...... and what i meant is OBVIOUSLY before you paint it you should know whether you are going to keep the car or not...

about me... im just crazy like that... if i want ill paint it black one week, then pink the next... i can careless about "spending money" i like to do it right

have a great day

ok. it's setted. Go get it wrapped in vinyl. We'll be here waiting for your thread called "I should've just listened to CL and gotten it painted...fml" and then laugh at you for regretting it.

oh and FYI, if you do decide to get it wrapped (lol) you do realize you will have to intentionally scratch you factory paint with either steel wool or a claybar in order to get the wrap to stick correctly, right? So in the long run, you'll have to repaint it anyway to get it back to "factory paint". Have fun dude.

How is that a dumb equation? I don't get what is so hard to understand about IT'S A LEXUS DON'T BE CHEAP Maybe you're dumb for not understanding it If you feel the need to put on parts from Pep Boys then go ahead cause that's CHEAP. If you can afford the car you can afford the parts, plain and simple. So next time don't be such a smart ***.

^^ Dude's what you talking about.. Pep BOY aint sht, its all about Auto Zone. You know, 19's plastic with the chrome spinners. Man someone should do that mod, for sure it'll take out any Lexus's. Its not that cheap, 20 bucks with tax. Damn those taxes!!!
ANYWAYS, lol get it painted, do it once do it right!

K, since when did a cars brand have anything to do w/ what you prefer to do w/ the modding? Lol honda, lexus, toyota, ferrari, end of the car its still a metal frame w/ 4 wheels. Bet you feel like a real baller driving an entry level lexus huh? Lol, trust me i'm not dumb at all, in fact, its you idiots that spend $ on cars and nothing that holds value. Lol, seems like your Lexus goto your head a bit there huh? Can't say jack about my set up, nothing but a simple h/r spring drop, wait...let me take that back, a BuddyClub N+ drop that i'll be picking up at the end of this month. Hows that for being "cheap" lol..
