Just a thought, it would be cool to learn in depth about your money saving, cool mods.
So share your tips, tricks, mods, cheap ideas, use links, pics and descriptions to help us out so we too can use your good ideas.
What better way to give back to the forum.

I'll post as soon as I get the nerve to take the cut-off wheel to it. What's the worst that could happen? Just get a new bumper I guess
You'll be fine. I think if you search for a post by MTH he posted his write up, super simple. I just am waiting to get mine, I just ordered the VDP one instead. But it's the same concept. Chalk your line, saw, and self tap screw the cap on.

Washed my 2012 Sport today, noticed that quite alot of water from the powerwash had sprayed under the hood, into and around the air filter inlet. Having read on this forum about a guy who hydrolocked his 2012, I was concerned.
Here is the problem:

This is, of course, the left side. The right is the same. There is a gap where the factory weather seal ends and water can infiltrate under the hood and into the air filter. You can see daylight in this pic.
What I did was to glue down a piece of foam weatherstripping onto the gap left by the factory. I used 3m Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive.



You can see the air intake in the background.



No more gap, no more water.

bleh...back in the day kids didn't have car seats, and didn't even wear seat belts. There was none of this safety crap and everything turned out fine.

People need to unbunch their panties. OMG KIDS!!!1!!111

To quote Chris Rock: "**** the kids"! :rofl:
Yea.... no not really. Read up on this: Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society. A good report completed in 1966 outlining major traumatic fatal events, mostly automobile accidents. So safety is a bad thing? Do kids 4'9" or shorter need to be in car seats? Probably not, but seatbelt? Yes.

That paper, commonly called "The White Paper", is a running joke among EMS. My paramedic teachers told us that it was written shortly after civilian ambulances were released, letting people know that paramedics are just trained monkeys, and that illness and injury will happen and we cannot stop it. :doh:

Agree with the mirror flip!

Also like this free one:

Unzip the fabric on the drivers side roll bar and you can hide a garage door opener inside. I have mine hidden under the triangle fabric piece that connects where the roll bar horizontal and vertical bars meet. Simply push the outer fabric covering the button on the remote. Totally discreet and less likely to be stolen when the top and doors are off.
Nice idea.......any pics???
