EASY $12 Fix For FADED B-Pillars You Can Do At HOME

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

My cheap 2010 Lexus ES350 Is becoming far too nice. After the detail the sun faded and worn B-pillars really stand out. I decided to spend a few minutes and a few dollars to make them look brand new. I used about 12"x60" of Avery SW900 Gloss Black wrap vinyl. It didn't take more than 30 minutes to knock out all 4 pillars and that was with a ridiculous Lexus Care conversation thrown in the mix.

I've had so so many cars and by far this is my favorite car and so much so we tried to get my wife one but settled for 2nd best..a camry lol. We will get her a lexus next time lol. Or she can have Mine when I upgrade one day in the distant future. We love ❤ lexus. And wouldn't trade it for anything else

    Genuine question (not trying to troll or anything), but do you find yourselves underwhelmed by Lexus dashboards? Having test driven and debated amongst a lot of cars, I find that while the exterior of something like the IS or ES is visually impressive, on the inside I find it cluttered with buttons and the joystick-touchpad system just seems a bit subpar. And having driven a Camry for a while, I get a bit annoyed seeing cheaper bits of pieces of the car like the cruise control stalk or window switches and trim just lifted off a Camry half the price. IMO a top trim Camry (called SL here in Australia, probably XLE in US, iirc) feels like good value in the mainstream but in the luxury car space, I don’t think I’d tolerate the same interior parts or a worse infotainment system than the Toyota touchscreen. I find the G20 3 Series to feel or W206 Benz to look more impressive, respectively. Not to mention cars like Mazda (I have the new Mazda3), that I feel outdo both Toyota and Lexus in infotainment and I’d say is closer to Lexus in interior quality despite being priced like a Toyota. They’re still great cars and I toss up all these options whenever it’s time to upgrade - the only thing being that near-luxury cars are far more limited here than in North Am, we don’t have Acura, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Lincoln as alternate options.

    That's a nice solution. One recommendation I'd offer is to lower the window and pop out the rubber "window run" from the frame so you can tuck the wrap into the frame, then pop the run back into place to hold the wrap. Keeps 90 mph wind from trying to peel it off. 😜

You could then move the camera around with maybe a short handle attached and when it came time to stop and focus on you doing some work you would have both hands free.

    My 2016 Equus has the same problem where Hyundai BlueLink was due to be disabled at the end of 2021 because the head end unit has a 2G radio in it. Hyundai recently sent me an email notifying all owners that they were able to negotiate a continuation of 2G service with a provider which will allow them to extend the life of my car's BlueLink. Perhaps this will also benefit other car makers? Quoting: We want to notify you of an extension to this date. While the Hyundai Bluelink device in your vehicle requires access to cellular networks maintained by wireless service providers outside the control of Hyundai and Hyundai Bluelink, we have continued to work directly with Aeris Communications, the wireless service provider of the network. Aeris Communications has announced that it will be extending the life of the network beyond December 31, 2021. We currently anticipate the network will continue to operate until January 1, 2023.
