Default Mini-mod

Took a few pics after adding a mini-mod. I just know you eagle-eyed guys will spot it.
I also reckon some of you won't like it but what the heck, just doing something. It may be small but it cured that mod itch we seem to have around here.
What is it?

Roof spoiler, or center caps either way they both look great, your car makes me want a white one tint the windows and smoke the tail lights but leave the reverse clears, clear ouch she would be nasty!

It's called the J-Spec kit from Extreme Dimensions.

Yes, it's the center caps.
After a while I get the itch to mod but I don't want to junk up this car. The center caps are small but that little things seems to have scratched that itch....for now. In person, they make a difference that can't be seen in pics.
I like the caps but actually think the wheels look better without them. Just had to mod something.

Your car looks great, really like those wheels. I agree, sometimes it's the small things that do make the biggest difference and relieve that "itch" temporarily.

Temporary is right.
Put some new tires on the front 3 weeks ago but that didn't cure the itch.
I thought about it over and over and this is what I came up with. Number one, I don't want a junky-looking car. Here's some other thoughts I had:
- Update outside mirrors
- Exhaust
- Intake
- Lighted door sills
- Color match the windows of the wheels
- New wheels
- Those blue tinted headlights and fogs

I still might do something from this list but who knows. We modders are fickle sometimes.

Yes they would look pretty cool but I'm not into brake upgrades. The 3GS brakes are pretty sturdy and I see no reason to spend big bucks on brakes. If the car were faster I could see it. You can see that wasn't on my list. Never even thought of it.

I bought my rotors pretty cheap, they arent BBK or nothing but they look good and work great + have a lifetime warranty!
