    forgot to mention under-car stripes to match the top.. That way if I'm up on two wheels or rolled over in a ditch, you'll know who I am ;-)

    black stripe

    it took a couple of vinyl applications to arrive at the final design, but the painted on black stripe on my car has held up well and continues to make it completely distinctive

    I haven't had the car all that long so I'm just getting started.

    I cleaned up the fob a bit:

    I hand cut the roof graphic I wanted:
    40777c72dbe98652c2f0cec2f0847de2.jpg

    I wanted the roof graphic to match the colors and style of the Door Knob pulls and Dash Button covers I got from GoBadges:

    I've also got the GoBadges Grille Badge with the chrome ring and went with a more "English Look" with a proper front plate and original British Tax Discs (thanks to a mate from Wheaton Aston in the UK)

    Thats about it for right now. I'm going to be putting in a catch can soon as well as a new heat shield... Oh and a hideaway front license plate holder so the CHP doesn't hassle me too much. So far so good, but it's not wise to tempt fate.

    The best mod added to my car was me buying it so I could start the massive mod list in my M/A garage.

    Also this Garmin gauge dealio

    As a shop owner/tech, I have been dismayed by the ever lower quality of aftermarket gauges, to the point we stopped installing them. While my car has the dismal first gen factory nav, I found the Nuvi to be a nice addition especially since I got it to show the gauge option in Garmin Mechanic

    Loving the club logo on the shift knob - Nice touch of class

    The Spots with Mesh grills - UBER COOL
