Hey,
The only exterior mod I have is some lights that make my wheel light up and a liscence border that says "I'd rather be flying my robinson helicopter". What kind of mods do you have $?

These are little blinking lights that hook to your valve stem cap and are motion sensored. As the car goes and the wheels spin around it lights up the outer rim and there is three different colors red, blue, and green, I have red. I will try to get some pictures to you by the end of the week but my son has my digital camera up at college. You can get these lights at wal-mart for $5 for a pack of two long lasting and batteries are replaceable. These are called fireflies.

During the day they are hard to see but at night they are so bright people who dont pay attention will notice them, and you can find them in the car section of wal-mart, $10 3 colors, fireflies.

I designed it myself and a local graphics shop made and installed it. The cost depends on how good of a drawing you give them and how long it takes them to make it.
