I presume these tools would be in addition to those in the tool kit that came with the car.

Should I want to do this, I think I'd look at the threads of the DIYs I'm interested in and see what the modifier says he/she used.

Some things that come to mind in no particular order are:

• metric socket set
• masking tape
• electrician's tape
• Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM)
• Multiple grades of sandpaper (wet and dry)
• Torx driver set
• screwdriver set with both blade and Phillip's tips
• jeweler's screwdriver set
• thin polystyrene sheets (look in a model shop)
• fuse puller
• miscellaneous connectors and splices
• latex gloves
• plastic spatula
• can of spray adhesive
• body filler kit
• touch-up paint with clearcoat to match the car's body color
• WD-40
• 3-in-1 Lubricant
• Powered graphite for dry lubrication
• small Maglite
• plug puller for removing trim
• digital camera to record the steps for when you do your after-action report to the forum
• can't forget the can of Squirt
