Starting this thread because
A.) I'm curious

and

B.) I'm a poor college student but I'm too lazy to research free mods.



My favorite is de-badging the trunk. So clean!

Have at it kids!

Search the thread called "Better than finding a $20 bill" - it's several pages long. Also on the Zine, a similar thread called "Easter Eggs".

Coilovers and BT, great results without spending a dime.

Clear corners, cat delete (before the test pipe), and fish tank air line in the door molding...

I think you misinterpreted my intentions Devil, I'm not looking for neat little features (i've read that thread a couple times) I'm looking for cheap little things i can do to my car to make it faster/cleaner/lower/cooler.


Bradtyler, explain the fishtank airlines.

I know that when I get my new bumper I'm not drilling for a plate!

Oh I meant for the rear, that black slab behind the license plate, remove it and cut about a half an inch off from the bottom. Put it back on and it looks a lot cleaner.

Edit: Not trying to ***** my car, but here's some before and after. Look closely, it's little but makes a bit of a difference in person.

I like the way the "before" looked.
