Default Need Some Cheering Up!

My car was in its second accident and I need something to cheer it up when it gets back. Currently, my car is completely stock and I don't even have a spoiler. I was thinking of getting a spoiler in fact but I wanted to see if you guys had any better ideas. I don't want to spend too much money considering the bad luck with this car.

a nice interior detail + air freshener always cheers me up lol, makes the car feel new again (at least on the inside).

Haha, I like that idea.

An ebay trunk spoiler would do. My girlfriend was so iffy about the looks of the 2IS until I chose one with the trunk spoiler.

seriously... everyone here throwing add-ons to their 2IS and not many of them do their cars justice by simply washing them and keeping them clean, lol. So many filthy 2IS rollin' around here in CA its sad!!

Of course I may have OCD about this topic but my car thanks me for it!

Or some really bright LEDs so other drivers will notice you...

If you are really paranoid now, buy a BB gun. If some gets to close, spray them with BB bullets.
