@Robert Bandy build is a broad term. Technically this qualifies. Copied from my Google search "car build definition" "A vehicle build is the vehicles entire progression and includes engine modification, internal modification or restoration, aesthetic modification or restoration, and additional work that is done to a vehicle to reach a final "vision." Being built, is motor modification."
@Robert Bandy it's not a check list bud. You can build a car without touching the engine. It's changing anything on the car to REACH THE FINAL VISION. Which is different for everyone. When's the last time you had a build, friend? I've done everything from a frame of LS swap that you see in my profile pic, to simply replacing the boring exhaust and headlights on my truck to make it my final vision. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And that beauty is in their own respective builds.
I'd be careful calling/titling things "Pimp my ride" we all saw B is for Build get his video pulled because of those copyright owners. Just my two cents.
Can't even really blame DP because they wanted him to keep his eyes on the camera.... I felt the pain of that chip and it will take me a few days to recover.
This is everything I wanted from a quick CT-200h mod. This car looks so good and I never see it modded. If only Lexus made this car into a proper hot hatch.
Hi guys, the cause of this paint peel is that the previous painter didn’t sealed the bumper with a special plastic primer. You have to degrease it first with a plastic degreaser to “soften” the material after that you need to scotchbrite it. No sandpaper needed, it came obviously new so not damaged. After that redegreased and primed. And then paint and clear. Greetings from Belgium. Love your channel, best content! I would love to give you a hand on your projects, but the ride home after a day of work would be a long one!!!
I’ve had a CT200h for a little over a year now. I love it. Plenty of power to feel sporty paired with the amazing steering. I love pushing it into corners and coming out fast. I love these mods it makes me want to look into getting them myself as long as it doesn’t affect any warranty. Great video! I see a bunch of comments asking for CT200h car review and I think you should put a review out too!
I converted my 2011 ct200h premium to a 2015 f-sport after swapping the front & rear bumpers using that same wing. I went with 18 x 8.5 gram lights rims. Love that 40 mpg.
I really enjoy this series for content on your channel, I hope it brings you the extra subscribers you deserve. You two fellas are the most chill and likeable guys in the youtube car game.
I am one of the few that absolutely loves the CT.. I almost picked one up as a DD a few years ago, (currently in a Corolla hatch XSE) but I love the interior on these cars so much, looks really good. Makes me want to find a clean one again!!
It’s cool to see both vehicle I have on the channel! I have a LS 430 and my wife drives a CT200H. The CT is a great daily but if you are bigger than 6ft it’s a bit small.
I have a 2012 ct 200h, a 2010 Camaro SS, and a 2jz swapped 91 300zx. I really love watching this content on the ct 200h and would love to see more even if it's just luxury, sound system, and appearance stuff. Btw I found all the Supra content really helpful with my 2jz build.
Love my CT! I installed an HPS short ram air intake. It doesn't add power or improve mpgs, but doesn't hurt it either. The throaty note sounds so amazing! Highly recommend installing one.
Yes, would love to see a review of the CT200h. Been looking into buying one of these. Love that it's a practical hatch, it's a Lexus so I know it's reliable, and also great on gas. Would be great to hear a review from a daily driver/enthusiast point of view. Thanks!
I've always loved this car. The style is so nice and the rear is one of the best looking in the hot hatch pool. You guys did this car justice. The black on white looks stunning.
I just got my 2011 Ct a month or so ago after my TC got totaled. My Ct is black but I want it wrapped white so bad with a lip. I wish I watched this video before I purchased my tires yesterday. Love that you feature this model and modifications! I’d honestly buy another when the time comes.
PT...pimpin’ the wife’s whip...like a boss ! I have to say, I’ve been a huge fan of what you guys do for a while now, but your new approach to content is excellent and more car based channels should emulate you. By varying your content menu, capitalizing on your relationship with DP AND the fans, injecting self deprecating humour and keeping the originality that’s made you special, I think you’ve hit on a great approach!
Looks killer! I use that same alignment equipment at work, top tip, if a car is super low you can zip tie the alignment heads to the wheels, I do it all the time!
Late to the comment section but I had to jump in. 1. I really like this build. Simple, easy, functional and affordable for most mortals like me. 2. I really like this car. I'm a Toyota loyalist, so it reinforces how easy, most of the time, maintaining and upgrading them is. Not always, but mostly. 3. DP, I'd love to see a step-by-step, or some time lapse version, of how you detail. I'm in awe of your skill with the Rupes, and I want to learn more. 4. Similarly, PD I'm also curious about how you think about tire/wheel size (e.g. what fits and what doesn't, what looks good, etc.) and I'm sure that I'm not the only one. Thanks for the creativity. It's been motivating during the craziness that we're living through, more so south of Ontario where I'm at than where you are. Regardless, I'm learning a lot ... as is my 17 year old son. It's awesome to have a few shared interests with your kids.
These are one of those cars that always intrigued me. You don’t see them often but I like the styling. I didn’t know the gas mileage was so good. Btw that fluid film is incredible! I use it on all of my cars. You guys do some many mods so quick lol.
This is gonna be useful. Gotta make some fixes to my project car. Messed up the rears years ago when I was way younger and just not getting everything done right. Appreciate your effort
Being 100% real here. I have been a supporter and fan of this channel for years, and I find I have not been interested to watch the last few videos you guys have put out. I try to watch, and then find I fast forward through the whole thing, or don't click on it. I gave feedback when you guys posted that video asking for some a few months back. I figured you guys would still want feedback now to keep growing. If not, ignore this post. I just have no appeal to the content being put out recently. Keeping it real. I do not watch the long unboxing videos of random parts. I just don't care to, unless it is followed up with track data. I skip most of these videos with random cars getting minor mods. I feel bad because I know it takes your time and effort to make them. In the end I am a track focused person. Your track content and comparisons you put out over the years is what I loved. Taking random cars, putting coilovers/wheels/lip kits/bumper repairs/etc is not what got my support originally. I know you guys have a bunch of cars sitting around to work on (supra, s15, fd etc), and I hope there will be less focus on part revealing/long expensive builds, and more on seat time and track mod comparisons. Like back to back comparisons of different pads/tires/turbos/manifolds/alignment setups/aero changes/comparing how different cars drive against each other. What there strengths and weaknesses are, and how they respond to different mods. Jumping in someone's built car and giving feedback on its behavior on track, with lap times of all cars you have tested. Those are the videos I miss. I will say the production quality is awesome. It is sick to see that evolve for you guys. You will always have my support, and I'm hyped to see where 2021 takes Speed Academy. Much love, A janky turbo miata hpde driver from NY
@@MediocreHustler yea mine been modified quite nicely. I wrapped it yellow,mugen kit all around,Spoon sports wheels,Spoon front sway,custom headlights,spoon front sway and some other little goodies.
Great car I love mine. The paint on the front bumper is cheap as seen in the video for some reason, I have some of the same problems but not nearly as harsh. Rocks will hit the bumper and chip paint at high speeds but nothing a little touch up paint can’t fix well enough. The interior is pleasing to look at. Amazing leather seating. Some of the plastic feels cheap but most of it is well done. Back seat is very small so don’t expect to be hauling 4 fairly sized people very often. I love the interior design though aside from the overuse of plastic where there is no leather. Makes me feel like I’m in a Lexus. The driving experience is amazing imo. I love taking tight corners at high speeds with it, the fwd is great for pulling through turns and the light body weight makes it so there is absolutely no body roll whatsoever. However, in a straight line you aren’t gonna be winning any races! The car gets up to speed though so don’t think it’s too slow for daily use and merging into traffic it has plenty of power for casual usage. The small size males lane changing easy in small spaces and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been able to squeeze into a turn left only lane where a truck couldn’t fit! Parking is so easy you can park this thing anywhere no problem. The hatch back is great for daily use and this car has single handedly made me want a hatchback for my next cars to come! One thing I’ll note is the suspension is very stiff so hitting a pothole hurts everytime whereas a truck could brush it off, you’ll know you hit something in this little guy! (Very easy to dodge things in the road though since the width of the car is so small you could fit 1.75 of the car in 1 lane.) I love the car. Great on the wallet. Dealership maintenance can get pricy but that’s the cost of driving a luxury car and having the reliability of a Lexus. I’ve seen many of these last more than 100k miles and I’m hoping that mine is no exception! Feel free to ask me questions about the care if u need to, hope I could help! :)
@@mmeste5218 Have you had nay issues with clogged EGR? Also, I've been reading about brakes locking and/or lurching you further ahead then where you mean to stop. I looking to buy one but keep reading about these issues. Any advice will help. Thx!
@@savjottoor7910 after much reviews and research, I decided to get one last year and I love it. It’s a very nice ride. No problems and it’s been a year. Also, with the gas prices lately- filling up is not expensive. If you find a good deal- go for it!
@@gisellejoseph1824 Greattt! Okay so please give me a suggestion, I found a 2012 ct , single owner , well taken care of, every single service done at lexus dealership, 1,50 k kms for 15 grand here in ontario, canada. There is no maintained car left these days under 10 grand ( sadly ). I feel it is a little expensive for 15 grand but even if I sell it ( which I don't think I will ) in two years, I will not lose a lot of money. Do you think I should go for it?
@@savjottoor7910 I would, I love the versatility of it being a hatchback. Mpg is great. I get 40+ easily on eco mode and 37 on regular/sport mode. The only complaint comes from my spouse. He’s 6 ft tall and his head practically touches the roof so that’s the only downside. Expecting our first baby next month and we’re able to fit her car seat in the back just fine too with plenty of room for me but I’m 5 ft 4 in so that’s a huge difference in height and leg room between us lol. The sunroof can be noisy at times which is a complaint I’ve heard from a lot of owners. I had bad cabin noise initially but the tires were ready to be changed. Switched to Michelin’s per Lexus’ suggestion and that helped significantly. Back seats fold flat and I’ve used it plenty of times to haul tile, plants, mulch, my dogs…you name it.
I have a ct200h as a daily too, it is my favorite car i have ever had. It feels like the classy as hell version of the eg civic hatch i was obsessed with back in the day. I love seeing some content on these 100% slept on car.
Ohh yeeeah about time someone did something on RUclips on the ct! I've facelifted, vinyl wrapped, upgraded wheels, lowered, led upgrade, and sooo many other things to mine...but can never get myself In front of camera :(
Love these quick and “easy” builds. I’ve only watched a few, but have noticed that you usually don’t touch the brake calipers - even just a paint touch up - might be worth it...maybe. You guys are great though. Keep up the good work.
Definitely poorly done paint work. All Toyota bumper covers come in raw plastic. They need to be baked through a booth cycle to off-gas any remaining mold release agents. Then they need to be scuffed and re-cleaned. Once they are in the booth: they require an application of an adhesion promoter, then a primer sealer, then your typical base/clear- the flex additive/agent normally gets added into the clear coat.
I love that car!! Just love it. They’re not cheap on the secondary market to buy one of those cars.And then the majority of time they have really high miles on. Your wife is so funny.
It was refreshing to see this video since I actually own a CT as well and there’s not really a lot of content on them out there. There a great daily driver, good job on this one guys
I have this exact car and have been wondering how to add a little spice. Thank you for the video, it was super informative for someone who doesn’t know a lot about cars!
THE CT-200H is hands down one of my favorite cars. It's a Toyota for one, hybrid, looks sporty, cheap to maintain and endless practicality. It's even cheaper to buy
I would definitely watch a ct200h review. Been trying to talk the wife into trading in the Prius for another Prius (ct200h). This might help! Great videos guys, keep up the good work!
Really enjoyed the video! Especially the feature of your wife and her thoughts on it, as well as DP with the tiktok fail. What a disaster from the Lexus dealership on that initial botched paint job.

Well from a brand such as lexus, that paint job was a pretty dick move

Okay so please give me a suggestion, I found a 2012 ct , single owner , well taken care of, every single service done at lexus dealership, 1,50 k kms for 15 grand here in ontario, canada. There is no maintained car left these days under 10 grand ( sadly ). I feel it is a little expensive for 15 grand but even if I sell it ( which I don't think I will ) in two years, I will not lose a lot of money.
Do you think I should go for it?
This couldn't have come out at a more perfect time. Just purchased a 2012 CT200H, should arrive at my house in a couple weeks.
I am considering to buy one ina a really good condition. Would you recommend it to someone?
@@savjottoor7910 I would, I love the versatility of it being a hatchback. Mpg is great. I get 40+ easily on eco mode and 37 on regular/sport mode. The only complaint comes from my spouse. He’s 6 ft tall and his head practically touches the roof so that’s the only downside. Expecting our first baby next month and we’re able to fit her car seat in the back just fine too with plenty of room for me but I’m 5 ft 4 in so that’s a huge difference in height and leg room between us lol. The sunroof can be noisy at times which is a complaint I’ve heard from a lot of owners. I had bad cabin noise initially but the tires were ready to be changed. Switched to Michelin’s per Lexus’ suggestion and that helped significantly. Back seats fold flat and I’ve used it plenty of times to haul tile, plants, mulch, my dogs…you name it.
This is really weird, I just got back from offering on a 15' CT-200h and this comes up lol
The digital overlords spying on you.
I have a ct200h as a daily too, it is my favorite car i have ever had. It feels like the classy as hell version of the eg civic hatch i was obsessed with back in the day. I love seeing some content on these 100% slept on car.
fooled me with the teddy bear wheels in the thumbnail 😂
Ohh yeeeah about time someone did something on RUclips on the ct! I've facelifted, vinyl wrapped, upgraded wheels, lowered, led upgrade, and sooo many other things to mine...but can never get myself In front of camera :(
The dislike is from the Lexus body shop who painted the bumper
@Robert Bandy so what should they call it? are you new to this channel btw
Nah, I personally just think these cars are underwhelming.
man the lexus pearl white is so nice, looks amazing under light
I’ve always liked the styling of these, it’s a shame they only came as a hybrid.
agree. changing the battery may be costly
Hybrids are cool though.
I have a 2015 and the "mod" support for these is just non existent in my research. excited to see what you guys do.
"Pimp My Ride:" When ads become the content.
Love these quick and “easy” builds. I’ve only watched a few, but have noticed that you usually don’t touch the brake calipers - even just a paint touch up - might be worth it...maybe. You guys are great though. Keep up the good work.
I'm actually really sad it's not the bear wheels.
A subtle yet drastic change to an already good looking hatch. 🔥🔥
Those who don't comment but read comments
That bumper was ridiculous. Looks great now!
This guy low key just blamed his wife for all these mods. She mad him do it. 😂
This man has discovered the solution we have all been after since the start of mankind
I really appreciate the fun you guys are having. Keep it light and have fun. Much respect!!
The lack of anti-seize on those suspension bolts is alarming...
Sprinkling these types of videos in with the regular content is working really well for me. Keep it up boys
Definitely poorly done paint work. All Toyota bumper covers come in raw plastic. They need to be baked through a booth cycle to off-gas any remaining mold release agents. Then they need to be scuffed and re-cleaned. Once they are in the booth: they require an application of an adhesion promoter, then a primer sealer, then your typical base/clear- the flex additive/agent normally gets added into the clear coat.
You're the only channel who's in video ads I don't skip😋
I love that car!! Just love it. They’re not cheap on the secondary market to buy one of those cars.And then the majority of time they have really high miles on. Your wife is so funny.
It was refreshing to see this video since I actually own a CT as well and there’s not really a lot of content on them out there. There a great daily driver, good job on this one guys
these series are awesome they are nice quick breaks between builds lol perfect !!!!
I have this exact car and have been wondering how to add a little spice. Thank you for the video, it was super informative for someone who doesn’t know a lot about cars!
I was skeptical about the build. But it looks really good. Very nice. Plus you get the wifeys approval is always plus
My wife and I love her CT200h , very underrated cars for what they are and what they cost .
Ahh yes someone with a sensible and functional daily driver, another reason to like this channel
Liking the one episode pimp my ride over the two episode....
Car looks awesome!
THE CT-200H is hands down one of my favorite cars. It's a Toyota for one, hybrid, looks sporty, cheap to maintain and endless practicality. It's even cheaper to buy
YES to a CT200h video. In the market for one right now, would love to hear your review on it.
I would definitely watch a ct200h review. Been trying to talk the wife into trading in the Prius for another Prius (ct200h). This might help! Great videos guys, keep up the good work!
Hope you got it man
Really enjoyed the video! Especially the feature of your wife and her thoughts on it, as well as DP with the tiktok fail.
What a disaster from the Lexus dealership on that initial botched paint job.
super reliable car, my driving school's coach car has more than 500k kms on it, and it still runs perfectly
Looks great Peter!!! Loved seeing your wife’s reaction, my wife would’ve had a similar reaction😂😂
I’m in for a review on Lexus!!
While I didn't know I needed it, I have to give you props for your editing continually getting better!
Great job on the CT. Looks clean with those tasteful mods.
