I was clearing out my taillights myself and i after the left one was done, i thought it looked great and because of my satisfaction, the job seemed quick and easier than what it really should've been. So onto the right hand side tailllight...it seemed easy to me so i kinda rushed and accidently chipped a corner off my taillight. What a dumb@$$ mistake!!

Some idiot aka me forgot to reconnect the bolt on that little box thing that connects to the snorkel air intake so it fell off while driving. Since I was going 70 at the time it kind of broke into a million pieces and was no more. I replaced it with a vinyl glove.

I accidentally stepped on the top to the coolant reservoir and cracked it. I replaced it with a vinyl glove and a rubber band to secure it in place.

I was doing a touch up paint job on my hood and decided to move the car into a more shady location. Ended up running over my can of basecoat

This isn't a supermod or anything but I tried to mend a large rip in my interior door handle (super uncomfortable location as it was right where my elboy sits when driving) with one of those cheap leather/vinyl repair kits. In the kit is a extra piece of pleather to practice on. I skipped this step and went straight to the door....what a mistake. Now it looks like I vomited black crayon and superglue all over the inside of the door (although it IS slightly more comfortable for my elbow).
