Buy a new door handle cover (small body color piece that doesn't move when you pull the door handle) for the drivers door to "shave" the key hole. You have to buy the rear driver's side and it pops right on. I think mine was $15 bucks.

1. cheap
2. easy
3. awesome

pick any two, and thats the kind of mod you get... for example

if its cheap and easy, it prolly wont be awesome
if its cheap and awesome, it prolly wont be easy
if its awesome and easy, it probably wont be cheap.

usually this is used in the situation with buying a car - just replace awesome with fast, and well, you get the drift.

thats just my

Question, you want to do performance mods or cosmetic mods?

And, just a warning, it starts out cheap, but it's an addictive hobby...you've been warned, lol.

Peace.

Search "interior lights" - lots and lots of threads with pics and parts lists - look for posts by Kennedy, rockyfeller and robbie??? .

P2R Throttle Body Spacer ~$120
Progress Rear Sway Bar ~$140 - Easy, but you need Ramps, Jack Stands or a Lift.

Also Fog Light Replacement ~$30.
