You should come to Minnesota. One of the few places I have ever seen a car less than 5 years old have rust on it.

Carpet Floor Mats
Cargo Tray
Ordered: Interior Ambient Lighting and a Driver's Armrest W/Storage

Soon: Window Tint
I am also considering getting my sport wheels chrome plated.

waiting for zeta to get these in stock:
1) side mouldings
2) hood deflector

seriously on the lookout for: lowering springs, HID projectors & LED taillights, body kits? , & some power mods ?
Stupid universal LED light from ebay wouldnt fit in the dome.. ended up ordering another one from a seller on here with the super bright white headlights & yellow fogs.
Also, I had the front tinted w/ 50% but the guys I went didnt want to do the smaller front windows. They were saying it will be too dark. I might do it myself in the future. Still waiting for the hood deflectors from Zeta & some lowering springs!!! And maybe spacers for the rear wheels.

I plan on having some fun and personalizing them. The rears may read something like "WARNING, NEW HYPERMILER". For the front, the msg will be backwards so when they see it on their rear view mirror, they can read it.

I can't wait for some options for intake! Seems like a decent bang for the buck usually...

I'm thinking rims/tires and springs to start. The roads here in Minne *suck* so nothing too crazy, something like 205/45-17 and a modest drop, maybe 1".

Oh, and I have sort of long legs so maybe some seats with longer seat bottoms.

Floor Mats

Floor mats are easy to install. There are two clips that have to be installed on the driver's side. Go to www.collegehillshonda.com for instructions. Takes about 10 minutes to install the clips.

First thing, putting an aftermarket radio in with a subwoofer.

Second thing, changing all the interior panel trim to glossy dark purple (instead of buying the carbon trim kits), including the silver trim on the steering wheel.

Third, cargo cover.

Fourth, floor mats.

Fifth, sunroof.

Probably many more eventually.
