    Timing Belt replacement

    My Protege has about 108,000kms on it, so I would like to be precautious and get the timing belt done early, while it's still intact and doesn't cost a fortune to fix if it were to break. Also, knowing how much money I would save by doing it myself...with only some reference to how-to videos...

    Painting a Spoiler

    I was wondering if it's really expensive to paint a new spoiler so that it matches my car's color? Could I buy the paint from a shop and do it myself? Or should it only be done professionally? I was also thinking about putting some carbon-fiber-looking vinyl tape stuff on the top part, for...
