I got them from Decal Dude on here. Approx $15

I got the material from a friend of member jnesselroad on here. Excellent material. Went on really easy. It looks even better in person. Looks rich with my faux wood trim pieces.

Just a Tail Ho.

These arrived yesterday for the Hemi Goes well with the stainless on the pillars.

What a quick change. Maybe 10 minutes.

Now where can I find a set of springs eh eh?

I love the new lights on the Dodge ... those are very very nice

Only mod I've done to Dave (my parent's 2010 Caravan) is new Dodge frames for the license plates; an Eeyore antenna topper, and weathertech mats. I guess I'll need to be putting those mats in soon ... winter is approaching Have you ever used snow tires on your Dodge yet?

Thanks. Does make it look different.

I got Crappy Tire mats. I leave them in year round.

I have not bothered with snows. We do not drive the van that much. Heck I got snows on the Fit so it is my winter car -)

Ya Dave is rarely driven too. My parents got him February 2011, and he has around 7000kms (that's with a trip to Ottawa and Myrtle Beach).

I bought the weathertech mats because in the winter he's used more for family outings and they protect every section of the floor in the rear. This way he will stay somewhat new for a bit longer lol.

I am loving my heated seats. I had never sat on heated ones before. Takes maybe 2 - 3 blocks before you feel it but then so nice!!!!!!!!!!! Sure warms up the Clazzios.

I must redo this panel but with all the crap stuffed in bins in front of it you do not notice they are not lined up.

I'm thinking that's really not the part you like warming up...

On that panel - it's those moments that have snuck up on me as well.
Like the gasket on my SharkFin.
Have the new one still in the wrapper.

Good job on the heated Clazzio Warmer!!!

Let it snow. Being old and decrepit I let my Dodge dealer do the swap. I did take them out of the hatch and washed the Sport wheels before storing and I pounded the center caps on.

The wheels and caps were powder coated in the Spring after I took them off.

The winter rims look good like that

I purchased the Dodge's first 'mod' from the dealer yesterday. Bought the hood/bug deflector ... salesman that sold my parents the vehicle gave me a discount on it ... Also looked into window visors (apparently not sold thru Dodge), and the fog light kit. Fogs were over $200 for the kit so I'm waiting on that. The hood deflector is my dad's Christmas gift

I still love the aftermarket tails you bought for your Dodge ...

Thanks.

I was looking at Vent Visors online. Not too expensive. I would think Dealer should have them too.

Rather than Fogs try what I have done with LEDs. They do get noticed. I see a lot of people giving me a nod. Only about $25 total. $10 or so for LEDs online and about $10-15 for add a fuse.

The tails do make it look different.

Dealer said dodge doesn't offer the visors. They gave me a company to contact who only sell the in channel ones which I don't like. They then located a set of exterior stick on ones but I just bought the hood deflector so I'm gonna wait for now.

A sperm of the moment buy a couple of weeks ago on here.

It warmed up to 33F so I decided to tackle them. Other than drilling a small hole in my finger tip the install went well Not too much blood on the pedals. The wife even likes them.

A cop suggested to my wife that the front LEDs are illegal. They do have a blue tinge to them. Blue only allowed on emergency vehicles. He said some other officer may give her a ticket.

I am leaving them alone til next time. I did installed white licence bulbs on the rear yesterday.

Wow! Seems a little nit-pickin' to me, but the heads-up was nice I guess.
Hardly the blue warning lights we see around here.

I was rather surprised. At least no ticky.

Just installed White LEDs to replace my Orange parking lights. A five point LED. Look rather bright. Will check tonight. What a piggy to remove. I think a bit of my undercoating must have been sprayed on the holders. I had to gently rotate the one with pliers to loosen it. Went back in easy enough.

Now if my Add A Fuse would just come in the mail before it gets too cold to work outside I will be done with mods for this year.

Whoa. Just turned over 30M kms. At 20% oil life. So soon time for the second oil change.

Here are a couple pics. Nice and bright

Last mod til Spring

Added some LEDs under the headlights. Install was easy. Getting everything together was a pain. Ordered the lights. Started install. The add a fuse I bought locally was too big. None to be had so went to Amazon. It fit in fuse box but the Honda fuses do not fit in the Add A Fuse so had to buy some bigger ones.

I ended up running a hot wire from the AUX fuse through door pillar. and poking a hole through rubber gromet up to door hinge and then through fender to hood cable. Tied it to cable and some other wiring. Spliced and soldered the hot wires and ran grounds to bolts on rad. I first had checked the polarity of the LEDs(Smart eh).

And now the pics. The LEDs being wired to the Aux are on all the time. I may run without Fogs on now.

White park and eyebrows on
