I really like working on cars and modifying them, but there's a certain scope that I'd limit myself to.
Whenever I deal with something electrical, I make sure that I have it done at a shop that's reputable. Though sometimes costly, at least I get to have a peace of mind.
Whenever I deal with aesthetics, I make sure that the installer knows what he is doing. Oftentimes, nanghuhula yung mga installer kung paano nila ibabalik yung ganito or ganyan. Halata naman eh, for an instance yung headlight ko hindi ma-figure out nung installer kung paano ibabalik. Result? Nababadtrip ako sakanila. Why? Pinipilit nila eh. What if may masirang clip duon.
I have seen several stock mags painted to a color that's other than its stock shade. And I promise, ALL OF THEM ARE FUGLY. So don't bother messing up with your wheels. Just buy an aftermarket set when you can.
Dressing up your vehicle is a fun "adventure" trust me. You just need patience, and a lot of moolah of course because the itch to do this and that will be inevitable.
Forbid yourself from stepping on the "ricey" stage though. Maganda na ang Jazz in its stock form, when dressed up cleanly mas gaganda. Pero minsan, maraming mas binaboy lang kotse nila.
