This is a great thread for getting upgrade ideas. You guys have some amazing cars.

So far I've only spent 97 cents on a roll of scotch tape to keep one of my door lights in place.

More to come!

I still keep tabs because I like to say I have a brand new Lexus for less than you paid for your new Civic.

You're "done" when the car is no longer yours...and not a second sooner! Until then you will continue to mod with no regard to your finances!! ha ha ha ha ha!!

Soon I'll be living in my SC if this keeps up
