Default A couple of new mods (56k beware)

A couple of new mods i did recently. nothing major but still cool.

1. I put on the jdm eyelids i bought from juan. I'll paint them black when i paint the car over.

2. I did the "maglite mod". got the idea from maxima.org forum and i've done it to all my cars. I drilled the bracket next to the driver's seat. Bracket can be found at home depot but its very rare.

3. Hardwired my escort passport x50 radar into the fusebox.

4. added air spencer jdm squash air freshner but i dunt think its consider a mod.

5. my old steering wheel was worn and ugly so i gave it new look. I installed a Wheelskin 2 tone perforated leather cover for my steering wheel. took me two days but i love it. Very nice looking and comfortable. Definitely recommend it.

6. change dome light to a 9-led hyper white bulb from ebay.

Now i need to find a new shift **** or just rewrap the old one.

Nice selection of mods there. I must say again that the 5-speed ES's are a rarity these days. Keep up the good work!

wheelskin is no cheap cover you throw on. its a genuine leather replacement skin.

the "maglite mod" is very useful. it's a great place to secure your 3d or 4d maglite. I dont understand why you're bashing it.

and im from queens and im asian.......i just happen to be in college in upstate ny so by no means am i a redneck.

Looks good man. But my only gripe is you need to clean up those seats. Lookin real dirty. Might as well do a interior detail as well. Clean up everything. But besides that. I like the maglight mod. Pretty popular on the .org.

Oh and a manual ES300. :
