I'm jealous of how good you are at these tedious, patience requiring jobs. Your attention to detail is off the charts!
Yep.
Not many girls like her around .
There's something about a girl wearing tight shorts , who can do all this repair stuff and fix cars with such attention to detail that makes her SO damn sexy !!!
Fantastic stuff girl , keep it up !!!
Agree
I had last week off from work, with the three concerts I was going to cancelled, watching all the Forester Gump videos gave me lots of ideas for my brand new WRX "Tighty Whitey". Made a week off during a pandemic less pointless and boring!
Sarah just proves, you can have talent, be funny while being gorgeous all at the same time! Keep it up!
Yep, God obviously loves some of us more than others.. 😁
hard core mod! changing up the headlight assemlies to this degree is really impressive! I think its gonna look great! and as always, you're doing a helluva job!
I applaud people who have the patience to spend that much time replacing headlights! I started driving when halogens were "new" and thought THOSE were the best thing ever.
It always impresses me the amount of time you put into these projects and your attention to details
The old "paint on top of the trash can" maneuver. It's one of my favorites.
Watching your blog has become a habit every episode demonstrates your creative, persistent capabilities. Please keep up the good work you are a pleasure to watch.
Very interesting to watch and confirms to me that I will NEVER try this myself!
Unbelievable. Tons of work to make a mod on your car most people won’t even notice. Love your OCD and admire you for your patience and skills. Great work and wonderful entertainment. Keep on.
You make these tutorials so thorough. I enjoy the comedy, the not to subtle innuendo's. They are very informative, and give me ideas on stuff I'm doing (or trying to do) and you are super easy on the eyes. Keep it up young lady.
Dude I bought the first set of mid depth sockets Matco made back in 05 and I use them as my primary set to this day, I LOVE THEM. I tell my people looking to get into the automotive field that they need to be one of the first sets they buy.
thank you, finally somebody showed how the projector actually mounts inside the housing instead of just talking about it, btw, the reason the reflecting surface inside the headlight comes off so easy is because it is actually a solution of pure silver not chrome, if it were chrome it wouldn't wipe off but it also wouldn't reflect the light, chrome shines but doesn't actually reflect.....
Amazing patience and dexterity. You are really so good at "sweating" every tiny detail. Wish I could find a mechanic like you to look after my car!
Pffft HA! Yeahhhh "look after your car" sure sure bud...ok. Lmao!
learn to do it yourself.
You made that retrofit look easy. I've done a couple and while the results are worth the trouble that is not a easy project.
Keep up the great work Sarah!
Sometimes it seems a day's working on the vehicles takes a little out of you and a little dazzle shows up but remarkably you bounce back vibrant and as beautiful...(and funny) as the start of the day before...!!! yay...!!!
Sarah, 👍for your tenaciousness. Glad the lights turned out great.
I’m excited about the cut on the beam. It’s so defined! I have to look into doing these on my ride.🙂
I admire a woman that can turn a wrench. I know guys that wouldnt atempt half of your projects. I TIP MY HAT TO YOU MY LADY!!!
It' not often you see such method, skill, and technique in videos today. I commend you on a job well done. Your videos are becoming addicting.
Thanks Sarah, this was a very entertaining video and it showcases your amazing automotive talent!
Hi Sarah, love the videos, particularly the attention to detail. Can I suggest changing your orange indicator bulbs for chrome or LED to get rid of the ‘fried egg look’ keep up the good work.
A bunch of respect for your skill, patience, and multitasking abilities to do all of this. I just bought me a Crosstrek and came across your videos. Love the content. Hope to learn a thing or two about subies from you through your vids.
This is some serious work! That reflective surface inside is not any kind of chrome or paint, but is a vaporized aluminum deposit done in a vacuum.
Hi from England. Lights coming along nicely. When you peel masking tape off pull it back 180 degrees on itself to pull less on the paint below.
Love the G.I. Joe ref. Props on this mod. Headlights are intimidating. There is so much that can go wrong, that can't be undone. You nailed it (giggity)! Thanks for sharing.
hi Sarah.. there is a tape called fine line its great for cutting a fine line to start your cover point and then after that you can use thicker tape on it to protect your stuff, fine line you can manouver around corners and it holds nice
You have the patience of a saint on this stuff! I personally hate any projection headlight that has a sharp cutoff.
Did a clear lens swap and bulb upgrade to my mothers RX350, a couple of christmases ago. Drove around late a night one night, to test headlight leveling and the AFS system. A number of people called the police as I did the same thing, drove around without a front bumper and headlight lenses.
Wtf, where do you live that people have enough time on their hands to call police on something so trivial?
@@SarahnTuned A middle class neighborhood, I am sure it was Karen. In the persons defense, I did have to make numerous short drives; probably looked like I was casing the neighborhood.
SOO MUCH LOVE... I JUST GOT DONE DETAILING A 2017 RED FORESTER. IT WAS TRASHED.. LIKE NEW NOW... ONLY TOOK 12 HOURS
I can't believe how good the quality of your work is and has always been Sara. I would NEVER try to do what you did with these lights...I'm thoroughly impressed as usual.
You can make your own DIY power supply using a xbox power adapter. So you don't have to mount them on the headlights on the vehicle to do adjustments. When everything is final assembled you can adjust the vertical height only.
For base height reference use the dot on the headlight lense that's your starting point for height adjustment.
9:39 that's such a good feeling when you do something smart like label P and D and it pays off 5 years later lol
I wonder if it was one of her puns to use p & d instead of r & l
This just turned into a Peter Jackson 3 part epic! 😊 Its certainly a nail biter and I'm constantly amazed how much work you're willing to put in to get the results you want. Hope everything goes to plan 🤞
Thanks Sarah for continuing to make great content in these difficult times. Its appreciated.
what a classic... maybe an all time best video! best in content, best in editing, best in music, ...and best in Sarah! ("there is an innuendo in there someplace")
Knowing is half the battle...the other half is gratuitous violence - Tactical Therapy!!! Yes girl.
You deserve your own show on the Motor Trend channel...seriously.
I don’t want one.
@@SarahnTuned Neither do I.
I have the same hobby as you but you are way up there .Amazing patience,dedication,gutsy and focused and good looking too. Keep it up girl .Thanks for your wonderful videos.
Nothing better than a trimmed backside!
Wow Sarah you amaze! I could watch you all day. Your attention to detail is quite astonishing. + Your a hoot to boot.
Bunch of stuff.. Love; your attention to detail, witty humor, innuendo's, and flat out sarcasm :) On top of all that, you a hell-of-a-good-job!!!
Glad to know I'm not the only person in AZ who uses the trash bin as a platform for spray painting ;)
you should selling your retrofits to people who want the same look make some cash girl!! You rock!!
Would people pay 25 hours labour plus parts for it though?
@@raydavison2972 People usually forget about that part...
Yay! I love it when you post. I miss your "fire" when you're between videos. Your videos are informative and I love your OCD.
Awesome friggin job... Beautiful Sarah working on cars.... Not much better than that...
Sarah, your dedication and commitment is incredible! 15 hours + for just the headlights? Wow. 👍
Great attention to detail in a looking good quirky way. Thanks
I am sooooooooooooo glad you posted today!!!!!!!!
Omg you are my new favorite channel. Plus I'm in love. Ok thanks
Your doing a great job. I’m very impressed on how much patience you have.
"Swamp ass face".....literally the most accurate description ever for wearing a respirator when it's hot outside 😂
@Sarah -n- Tuned
If you want a real challenge.
I retrofitted my headlights too, but after finishing the first set i decided to make a version 2. I fitted 2 projectors in each headlight, so now i have 4 low and 4 high beams. They are mounted so all of them line up.
I remember when you were trying to figure out how to change the diff oil on your forester. You've come a long way since then with a technical mod like this.
Wow great stuff Sarah!! last summer i installed a fog light kit on my Chevy Cruze ( with some help from a friend ) and it made a big difference on how my front end looks now : ) So i really like these mods that you do!!
Good to see your videos. A little skeptical at first, but found myself enjoying your content and humor. I'll keep smashing the thumbs up button when I watch your videos. Thanks for adding to my list of entertainment and DIY know how. Keep up the good work.
I am so impressed by what you do.
Nice work, Sarah; you are one brave refabricator! If I had to make that many mods, I would be afraid of ruining my headlights and having to buy new ones (could be due to lack of patience).
AWSM work Sarah, the lights will be great.
Love the Channel and the work You do... but most of all it's You that makes the Channel Great!!!
Just the good old in and out game. That is a happy projector.
Another great video Sarah. You have kept me sane through all this insanity that’s been going on. I’m slipping a bit though. I have watched every single back issue. I may have to start all over at the beginning. What, wait...no, I can check out all your TFL car reviews. 👏👏👏 you’ve saved my sanity again. No...really. I do appreciate your work. I honestly believe that you are one of the best RUclipsr’s around. No, really I do. Ok, I’ll stop now......
I didn't know that you could do this. I'm so doing this to my car now. Thanks Sarah.
Hi Sarah,
It's always amazing to see the amount of work and the passion you put in your projects.
This is definitely a good quarantine pastime 👍
Exactly as you say Sarah - you are getting good at it - very good! a true engineer professionally done 😎 congrats on a tip top job 👍👏💅keep safe keep well!
Sarah, when you peel the tape off use your hot breath blowing on it as you peel. Helps a lot, really!
who is just here for the outfit? Love you Sarah
You look to be feeling better. I'm noticing a lot more energy and happiness in your recent videos.
Welp, if you're gonna endeavor a super time-consuming project, now's the perfect time! Sarah takes 'shelter in place' to the next level. Cool project. Cheers! And, projector beams ROCK! I had a pair of PIAA 959's on my first Subie (YEARS ago). Frickin' loved those things.
Sarah, I saw this video come up right after you uploaded it. It said there was no views yet. Could I have been the first to view it? That’s so cool, I’ve never had that happen to me. Loved the video, like all you do. Keep up the content and don’t change.
side note if you pull the tape off at a 45 degre angle when the paint is still soft you wont mess up the edge..
Hi. I just recently started subscribing to RUclips car review channels and it would not be complete without you!!. You are such a breath of fresh air. If you ever make a trip up to Ontario, Canada, let me know. I'd love to take you out to dinner. :)
Amazing Works! I only could in Sarah’s proyect
I always love watching your videos, and I understand the need for time-lapse. I'm definitely not criticizing in any way, but I really wanted to see a little more detail when you were cutting in the bowl for the projector. Was hoping it went just a tad slower. You definitely have excellent skills and I'm a little envious of the work you do. Great job!
Michael Skinner too hard to do that and film at the same time.
@@SarahnTuned Yes, of course. I had a senior moment and forgot that you're doing all of the filming. 🤪
This girl is an absolute dream!
I didn't this retrofit with my 2001 Acura TL.
I enjoyed those dual high beams, the cut-off,
and those 600k HIDs 🙌🏽. Turned around and
sold my car to a High schooler.
CUSTOM!! Awesome! job well done. You needed a huge bug zapper for the night time work.
GOD i miss AZ. iowa, and its snowing rite now........glad i have a 94 RRC !!!!!
As to the height of your step-down cuttoff, it should not be any higher than actual height off the ground of your headlight. If your headlight is 30 inches off the ground, and your set the cuttoff at 40"...your headlights are aiming up. And you don't want that because that will blind oncoming. Your cuttoff should dive down to the ground at a point about to 250 feet in front of your vehichle. Great video. I did this myself and posted my video last year.
Love it when a plane comes together
Nice plant or flower intro. Looked nice
Hey Sarah, I’ve painted my brake calipers over the last few days in my garage and it took literally a day of sanding them and get everything spot on. Luckily I’m not on the same ocd level as you or it would have taken a whole week. I have the greatest respect for your work (and cleaning😉). So anyway keep on wrenching and stay safe!
Genius! One of your best uploads ever. Amazing work. 👍
Nice work, you a very good hands on person.....nice job
You are like the ultimate perfectionist 😍😍 inspiration 🥰
Is it just me or has Sarah seemed to be in a better mood of late? Less stressed, less overwhelmed? Either way, I am happy for ya, keep up the cool videos and cooler cars.
The bare plastic parts are placed in a chamber where aluminum is vaporized. The vapor then attaches itself to the plastic with the look of chrome.
We used to do that in the factory where I worked, Vacuum
Plating was awesome if you wanted a funky phone case or anything else plating, just used to bribe the guys running it with coffee.
Incredible how precise you were able to do this! Loved the video👍😀👏🏻
Sarah, your fabrication skills are on point! Great work and great video!
You are such a superb fabricator...Love your videos...
Wow, what an intense retrofit. Congrats on your achievement. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had dreams about your Forester!
Hi from Rhoude Island I enjoy watching your videos you do good work your content kicks ass.
Damm Girl you have skills 😊 I would never attempt cutting them I would f@@k it up 😂 glad you’re keeping well, can’t wait to see tee ter tot back just got my own and keep re watching your vids on it even tho I’ve seen them loads of times and still laugh your jokes are 🔥
4:14 My jar (of olives) says that 3 olives is one serving size; I eat them like popcorn.
I do the same thing!
Same.
Same
3....😶 😂🤣😂🤣🤪
That funny.
Same lol
She got me with the video thumbnail
I think it's awesome that you paint on your city supplied trash can too! my trash guys probably think I'm nuts. all of my neighbors cans still look brand new.
Dayum - her legs go on for miles! NICE legs gal!
Awesome vid, BTW - excellent attention to detail. I can only imagine how much patience must be required to properly drill out the holes for the new headlight bulbs to seat properly.
With the quality of your videos I’m surprised you don’t have well over 1m subs.
Oh well, patience is a virtue and you’ve got that covered! 👍🇦🇺 (Australia)
Your dedication is incredible. I would have given up after day 1. Should look alot better when finished.
Sarah, 3M makes a masking tape that is purple. It is for fragile surfaces. I use it on guitars. Awesome job!
The music you had during the headlight housing dissection sounded like the soundtrack from Revenge of the Nerds!
