Default Small easy mods, whtas next for u?

Ive decided to make this thread due to my car being off the road and me being totally bored during the day with it so im trying to think of some small mods i can do to keep me from boardem. So whats some small mods u wanna do to your car just to give it that extra touch? That ain't very costly and are easy to do.

First on my list is finishing doing my slotted rotors and painting my calipers.

Also wanna start polishing a few things up under the engine bay.

Blue (or pick your colour) dash leds.
Piece of cake and inexpensive.

What I went and done yesterday was find all the old stickers and glue residue and all the stickers I didnt want on the windows, and took them off, youd be surprised how well it cleans the car up.
Also some nice classy (ie:$15 from supercheap) number plate holders will look ace.
Why dont you take the back seat out and look for money, always money floating around back there.
Try and dummy up a centrecap for the one thats missing.
Get some paint from Autobahn and touch up that scatch on the outer of the rear window.
Clean your inner gaurds.
Debadge is if thats the look your after?
Thats about all I can think of.
Borrow your brothers car so you can come on the cruise today
