I guess not. It takes a lot of balls to do that mod. Considering the outcome in the long run.

Worst thing I've done to my tC: Try and put eyebrows on it. With spray adhesive.

There's still gum and junk all over the upper parts of my headlights. It comes off, I've just been too busy to just goo-gone it.

The worst thing I've ever done to a car however, had to be re-upholstering the door panels in my '96 Dodge Stratus.

With white vinyl.

I also bondo'd, primered and sanded a large dent out of the trunk on that car, and shaved some of the badging while I was at it.

Never got around to painting the trunk.

This is particularly funny because my uncle is kind of down on his luck lately, and I agreed to let my dad loan the Stratus to him.

When I say something on Scion Life is Rice, believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

I broke a sparkplug in half because I followed some DIY instructions that said to torque them to 13ft/lbs instead of the standard hand-tighten til tight and then a 1/4 turn more. Managed to get the threaded collar out with an E-Z-Out. When I got to the last one, I had to try the torque wrench again just cuz I thought I screwed something up. Turns out the torque wrench doesn't register at that low of a setting. How do I know? Cuz I cracked that last one too. The other collar was stuck on the E-Z-Out so I had to go buy another set... :doh:
