    Removal/Alignment of Headlight Cover

    Hey guys, I am looking at buying a headlight cover off a guy on ebay because my original one has some paint damage to it. It is the same color as my Supra and he says the paint is in good shape so it may be worth the risk of seeing how well it will actually match before paying someone to try...

    Questions on Greasing Window Regulator

    My windows have a little bit of a shake or chatter to them when they are being rolled up. It only happens when the window is about 3/4 of the way up.
