Gettin mine!!

Just picked it up a few weeks ago. Just finished giving it a 20% tint all around and installed the stripes with the help of my brother . I think all i need now is rims and a drop. What else do you guys recommend?

dont have em on mine, but i love the extra set of drivers lights that some minis have. also, i noticed no rear fogs, you might want to look in to that also.

i also have been trying to figure out what i can do to mine. but not too much money, so im keeping it at the necessities right now. probably gonna install the garmin nav for now. i really havent seen too many accessories that appeal to me.

I like my cold air intake from DDM works.

what is the deal with rear fog lights anyway? is the idea for others to see my backside in the weather? or is it to cut fog while backing? i really hope it's the first one...

yes, the point is that in fog, other motorists behind you can see you clearly.

Aesthetically speaking though, it puts lights on the back bumper instead of those ugly black blanking plates, and it puts a switch in the missing spot on the dash.

I'd go with a porta-potty seat for road trips.

Really like the sparkling silver/white combo. Almost switched my order to that, but opted to stick with BRG.
