That's easy, Euro Parcel Shelf. If I could have only two mods, add Ian's Auto Up window circuit.

one mod? is that even possible?
well, if it is possible and im saying its not but, i guess i would go with a....wait, does a stage 1 package count as one mod? if it does than a stage 1 m7 package upgrade is my vote.
if the stage 1 doesnt count as 1 mod i would go with the window up circuit cause you can get the dsc turn off switch on the same circuit. more bang for your buck!!!

I've decided on adding white bonnet stripes with black pinstripes on my LY MC. And the euro pkg. shelf would be so handy with my commute.

as far as engine mod I'll have to say a CAI...I still have power when the A/C is on...yay!! But as for convenience and making life easier, hmm. I think I would have to go with an ipod adapter...I'm sick of having CD's all over the place. But to be honest a CAI and some exterior graphics are all I've added so far. I can't wait for my Rally Lights to come in for Christmas.
