I think tint shops use a steam wand. Could be wrong though.

Pay someone else

That actually doesn't fall under the bucket of easiest because dropping my car off somewhere is a huge hassle.

Not worth it. For this at least.

One side down after about 15 mins.

Fuck yes. That thing sucked.

Agreed. I liked it in theory, keep the sun out of your eyes. And I gave it a day. But I just couldn't get used to it. I hated it there.

Get sponsored by urotuning so you can get a windshield banner instead. It blocks less sunlight but the light is either blocked by the letters or not so its like a strobe show in some situations.

It's plastic, so the end of it got warped as I was hitting it with the heat gun to get it started. Once it got started and I could point it "underneath" to hit the tape and didn't have to blast to top of it, the rest was fine. But that one end looks a little mangled regardless of how gentle I was trying to be :(

Zhong Zhong rear wiper delete. That's the only new one. I'll put my steering wheel on this weekend. Same with my climate controls.

Got Monica, my AGM battery, and the jaybeefour installed. Routing for the wires coulda been better, but eh. Whatever.

Probably will be it for the day. Tomorrow I might wire up my dash cam, and run the harness for my sequential tails. That way when my adapter from Zero arrives on Monday, swapping to my euro LED tails is an easy task.


From there, all I have left to do is put on my drilled and slotted rotors I believe?
