Default What simple mods can i do???

Now that i got my hyper black dynas i have been struck by the mod bug.. But theres no money at the moment..

Things started popping in to my head and desided to make this thread.

What do you guys think are inexpencive ways to change the look of my TP lexus??

I have the brake stikers ready and just waiting for summer to pain my brakes TP (or silver) with black stikers.

What else can i do to continue the Silve/black look?

How to/How hard is it to (all black):

Paint badges
Paint grill
debadge
panit tailights (sense i cant find any shop that wants to intall overlays)
Paint headlight housing
Paint Fog light housin

You can prety much tell were im going with my lexus.

Please help

Also, do the "lexus" and "is350" badges leave holes behind???

the headlight housing for my friend took kind of a long time. It's some tedious work to paint cuz he missed a part somehow so we had to redo the process. So jus do it right the first time and ull be good
