Default Gentlemen... my tools are lacking...

actually, that wasn't a comment about my personal life - but I was hoping you guys could help me with some suggestions on what tools I will need for my future mods. I'm still new at this, so I only have a plethora of screwdrivers and a nice Dremel - but I'm not sure what else I will need. I was hoping to install a new DV, Samco hoses, paint my calipers, FMIC, headlight mods, guages, and all the dismantling that will come in tow... all in preparation for a chip... in due time, in due time.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Default www.whiteboxtools.com is your friend...

be sure to get a Torx set, some long extensions for your drivers, a magnet thingie, and a set of metric sockets. No need to spend a ton of money on this stuff either.

That's the coolest toy you've shown us yet! Does it require a compressor?
