Black chrome emblems from HeelToe
Said emblems lit up by Amp'd Emblems
LED DRLs
Interior LED replacement bulbs
Footwell lighting
Clifford G5 Cliffnet Wizard

And after Christmas, need to install the Cliffnet cable, Sirius module, WDP sat antennae, iPod adapter, LED footwell lighting, emblems and get the local automotive leather upholstery shop refit my full nose mask so it fits over my A-Spec lip.

And one day, I'll get the balls to tackle the Accord fog install.

Nice mod...with these, a little goes a long way

Maybe some OEM splash gaurds (I like the TL's with splash gaurds)

Would probably check around the black market section for a set. I'm sure someone would have some laying around

No mods as of now, Lol

Damn thing almost didn't start yesterday afternoon but now she purrrs just fine with the new juice.

And come to think of it, why not a new K&N air filter and a fresh oil change with full synthetic?

I don't do upgrades anymore, just stuff to keep the car like new.

Looks like the new armrest and e-brake boot will be birthday gifts as well. On the site they were ordered from, they say nothing about being based in Europe until you get the notice saying no you will receive no tracking number due to it coming from overseas.
