Default Making the cheap easy mods - the fun starts

This is easily the most expensive car I have ever owned and here I am making some "modifications". Starting with 2 of the cheapest you can make, the clear side markers and Zunsport grills. Got the side markers from Suncoast and the installation was as easy as shown in the video. No tools and took maybe 15 minutes. Hardest part was gettting the old lights out. I love the change.


How it starts

Installed

they work

and the full effect

Super easy mod and makes the car look good. I am going to tint mine with a wrap.

if you are going to track your car at all keep an eye on your grilles. I lost 2 of them my first year and installed safety wire on them all after that.

Changing the LED side lights was my first move too! I also changed the gas cap to the aluminum one with stud appearances. I was actually a bit disappointed at the quality of it, but the stock cap is even lower quality and cheap looking. I have a black T with black/lizard green accent racetek interior and LOVE that mix and have a final vision in mind for the car to have more of that lizard green accent interior and a matching accent with color matched powder coated calipers. So far on the interior I have got the lizard green painted key caps (which kind of counts as an interior upgraded ?) and the lizard green ignition switch. I have also ordered the dash and center gear shifter trims in lizard green but they have to be specially made in Germany and it'll be 3-5 months before I get them. I had to take a bit of a chance on the trim because of the backorder- my original plan was just to do the center trim and see if i like it before getting the more expensive dash trim addition, but that would have meant a year in total and so I just ordered both and will cross fingers. I am also thinking about a SOUL exhaust upgrade but dont know much about it or what the best option is. Need to spend some time digging into that and probably calling them and getting a better idea. This is all fun
