Mod of the Year.....sugestions?

Hey everybody I was thinking what do you think is the best mod you have seen this year?

I think we should "score" the mod in a bunch of categories, i.e. origionality, cleanliness, etc.

Truth be told, I'm working on secret mod that won't be done for a couple of months. I know I've never seen any TL with it done, and I think there will be a wave of members doing this mod once I announce it. I don't want to sound like a "doorknob" by not telling you guys I kind of want to be the first one to have it done. And I know if I say what it is, one of the masters here will have it done tomorrow.lol.




I do have one of my own mods that I will suggest......

I picked up a CD/MP3 changer from Tatewaki, when he got the Pioneer AV1, Lucky Bastard!!!!.
My main concerns for this mod were
- I didn't want to have any part of the changer visible.
- I wanted to have the receiver visible enough so the remote will work.


I decided to put the receiver/screen in the sunglass holder. The way I ran the cord, through the ceiling and down the a-pillar, I was able to open and close the sunglass holder perfectly. Co-incidentally I am also able to use the remote to change the songs while the sunglass holder is open.





So come on guys and gals, make your suggestions

Dremeled and wet sanded to look smooth. Ran the cord above the headliner, down the A-pillar through the dashboard to the ECU.


But I give credit to Ken for the concept; his project inspired me.

I gotta go with my VAFC in the sunglass holder....I know what you're saying, that's been done before. Yes, but no one has one that slides up and down for better visability. Once my TypeS TB, MDX intake manifold and TypeS cams go in, I'm gonna have it dyno tuned.



The hole is because I had to reroute the wire from it to the top. It's an old picture. It's been filled and painted since.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Austin519's mod is a MDX short block (not a MDX intake manifold which we are talking about).

you are 100% correct. I was unfamiliar with the mod NSX was talking about, that was the closest I could think of, but I was almost sure you guys knew about Austin519
