Wish List

So here's my current wish list of small and cool modifications to really "you-ify" my '08 S. (feel free to PM me for my address to send some goodies )

fromk thinkgeek.com:
dc/ac power inverter
Auto LED

outmotoring.com:
MINI Cooper tow hook deluxe
out motoring grill badge holder
outmotoring blackout beltline kit
pull to inflate sticker (straight)
R56 badge

cravenspeed.com:
MINI stubby antenna

altaperformance.com:
cold air intake

lylevinylstyles.net:
black gas cap

poochstyle.com:
back seat mats (color tbd)

minidomore.com:
MINI hitch and hitch mounted bike rack

So, my question is: Will I ever be able to satisfy this urge to get cool stuff for my car?? Ahh! Just kidding. But really, what are your thoughts, any suggestions, and also, what are your favorite "mini-mini mods" you've gotten?

those all sound good! you know, you can get more of that stuff from OutMotoring, like intakes and antennas. I just noticed it was a bigger column. Id call up Aaron there and see what he can do! might as well get most all at once. How sweet would that be!?

Im VERY excited about getting my parts back from Lyle. he is an awesome guy to work with!, and its soo much easier than painting!

Nope - but you may run out of $$.
Red interior lighting ( done with led dome light (http://www.fastmini.net/ledinli.html) and then just replacement red bulbs purchased from auto parts store)
Aaron at Outmotoring is great -- give him your list.

that's true about outmotoring.com. they do have a great selection! it seems to me that i remember them bumping up the price of some items though, than if you got them straight off the original sales site. But maybe not. I just pulled out this wish list which has been in a cubby in my desk at work from off of a tattered, coffee-spattered, crumply paper that I've been keeping my wish list on for a while, so I'm not sure if prices or selection have varied since I revised it last .

And ron- I love the interior LEDs! wish you could change the tach color too...

No, you will never be done.
Your list is mostly looks. Once you think you are done with that you will start on the go fast mods.
Once you feel satisfied on go fast, you will want to change more looks mods. Then go fast, then looks.......
It never ends.

Sounds sweet. Just do it. And no it will not curve the hunger. You are going to become a hopelss addict who will ne MMA (Mini Modders Anomyous). Also those fastmini leds where do they go. Do they go in the front 2 reader lights and then another set goes in the middle dome lamp? I am misunderstanding what they are describing.

They make a complete package -- I just got the dome light and then used red bulbs (w194s) from Oreilly Auto Parts.
