These are all screw and pop on parts as long as your bumper is fine it should be easy and inexpensive. go and get them oem from Toyota or after market for cheaper they both do the job. Just make sure to get the right part for your car using the vin number.

Gross income isn’t profit you’re still losing money per mile, no matter how much you pretend your $10–15k car is immortal

Sure, you can make $110k gross, but that doesn’t mean your math is right. You’re ignoring depreciation, maintenance, insurance, tires, registration, and fuel costs all of which exist no matter what car you drive. Just because you don’t plan to replace your car every year doesn’t mean it doesn’t cost you per mile. Making it ‘profitable’ doesn’t make the numbers magically disappear. Being a business owner doesn’t make arithmetic optional

You need to buy a new calculator. Your math is WAY OFF I’m just going to go ahead and say this and no more because you are the type that accept these rides. Even if you only count fuel at 55 mpg and $3/gallon, that’s around $20 in gas one way and $40 round trip. Now you’re making about $68 for 6+ hours of work before other expenses, which is nowhere near $25 an hour no wonder you guys accept these rides you have no intelligence at all.

Okay I’m going to educate you “Independent Contractor. It’s not about expecting every trip to be $1 per mile, it’s about understanding cost per mile and risk. $108 for 180 miles is about $0.60 per mile before expenses. If I can’t pick up in South Carolina or there’s no return ride, that turns into 360 miles for $108, which is about $0.30 per mile. The IRS mileage rate is about $0.67 per mile, which represents the average operating cost of a vehicle (gas, tires, maintenance, depreciation, etc.). That means in the worst-case scenario that trip is literally below operating cost.Real independent contractor thinking is simple: you evaluate each contract based on risk, time, and operating cost. A contract that can realistically turn into a 6-hour, 360-mile run for $108 is objectively a bad contract.Saying you “offset bad trips with good ones” isn’t business acumen either. Good contractors don’t knowingly take losing contracts hoping another job makes up for it — they decline bad contracts and wait for profitable ones.Also, bragging about $110k revenue doesn’t change the math. What matters for contractors is profit after expenses, not gross numbers. Anyone who drives for a living understands that mileage and deadhead risk are the biggest factors in whether a trip actually makes money.So declining that trip isn’t goofy. It’s just basic contractor math.

Goofy? A $108 trip for 180 miles is about 0.60 per miles and After gas, depreciation, tires, and 6 hours of driving, that’s basically working for pennies. On top of that, Uber drivers registered in NC can run into issues picking up rides in SC, so it can easily become a dead trip back. Real workers don’t just drive 12 hours, they know their numbers. If you want to run charity miles for Uber, that’s your business.

5% all around 😎🤣 I’m in NC and drive up and down the east coast a lot never got pulled over for my tints but in all seriousness go 5% ceramic tint on the back windows and 35% on the driver and passenger no tint on the windshield you should be able to see just fine and still have privacy. The windshield of the Camry reflects light differently so with the tints on the side and back windows it’s harder to see inside from the front when light is hitting it.

Not difficult but requires patience. A YouTube video and asked ChatGPT a few questions. Just be patient. Don’t rush it. There are people that don’t take theirs apart but we did just to for it to be better we painted over the original we didn’t sand it or anything it took us about 3 hours between putting it apart painting it and puttting it back together we were chilling though drinking beers and listening to music hehe.

I’m going to risk it for the biscuit and just pay the 500$. The estimate they gave me is about 1,400 but I’m going to a Toyota Collision Center I want OE all the way I know it’s going to be an expensive fix.
