astarte Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 and the Wet Okole seat covers for the appearance side. I have Wet Okole seat covers i put into my 4Runner in 04, those aren't just for appearance, they made the car more comfy and I remember the time right before an interview i dumped an entire soda into the drivers side seat and it just sat there in a puddle and i used a napkin to wipe it onto my rubber floor mats and then dumped it onto the street and i could drive 40 seconds later in a wool suit. the dogs have barfed on them more times than i want to admit. they're worth the money i spent on them 1000x over. -l.

carman63 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Not necessarily a mod, but one of the best suggestions I got from Haemish, I believe, is to mount my EZPass onto the rear sunroof panel. I've had it this way since I bought my first MINI, and haven't had an issue yet. Obviously doesn't work if you don't have a sunroof

Smokey Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 I had my S 2 days before the run-flats were gone! The Dunlop Star-Specs transformed the handing & kept me from back surgery... the originals are horrible. After that, the only other change you really need to make is a bigger rear sway bar. Sure, Konis & springs, camber plates, etc. are all nice for the track but the tires and rear bar make the Mini livable & a blast to drive on public roads. Well, those and the hood stripes that add at least 20 MPH:laugh:

Scavenger Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 After-market car stereo - (First-Gens) - Upgrade and Mod rolled into one really. This isn't for everyone, but I had the base stereo with only aux input, no Bluetooth. Though with ,albeit limited, mp3 support. If you have the H/K or DPSM, chances are better that you're satisfied with your sound and you already have the Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module has become a must-have with the hands-free laws in our area. For those like me that had the base system, after-market is your best option. The head-unit (HU) I chose has: 1. color-matched display (NO WAY did I want blue or green in there) 2. Bluetooth support for hands free calling and music streaming 3. iPod connection/control 4. Aux input 5. mp3 CD support of course (and other digital formats) 6. USB connection (thumbdrives don't skip) 7. steering wheel button integration 8. Sirius/XM add-on support 9. HD Radio add-on support 10. 4-channel line-level outputs for later amp addition As for sound quality, many folks have debated back and forth on which component swap is more beneficial, some have done only speakers, some have added amps and speakers, some have done the whole kit. In my opinion, the head unit swap is best. Not that it is your last move, but it sets a better stage for the addition of amps and/or speakers at a later date. ...and until I add amps or swap speakers, the HU has a programmable Digital Signal Processor (DSP) that can be adjusted to get the most from the stock speakers - and I really was impressed with the improvement! 2006 MCS, SB/S , "B.A." Performance: DINAN "Stage 5" tune, throttle body, boost kit (fuel pump, pulley), & CAI; JCW exhaust sans resonator, brakes, & GP IC; DDM IC diverter; CSF Racing Aluminum Radiator Suspension: DINAN front strut brace; Alta 22mm rear bar; KW V1 coil-overs; H-Sport adjustable rear control arms; CravenSpeed strut underators Interior: CravenSpeed gauge mounts with Cooper S boost and voltage, & shift well cover Wheels: Enkei PF01 17" Audio: Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994 HU; MTX Terminator speakers F&B Alan @ opensource.com
Gigi Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I replaced my passenger side grab bar above the door with a sun visor. It's the exact same visor that is on the driver's side - just flipped over. The mounting screws line up exactly with the grab bar's holes. NOTE: This may not be a desirable mod if you have a passenger who takes issue with your driving skills.

I had mine there for a while, but eventually, the mount actually melted and warped, so, I've got to get a new one. Maybe I'll consider the license plate frame model. 2006 MCS, SB/S , "B.A." Performance: DINAN "Stage 5" tune, throttle body, boost kit (fuel pump, pulley), & CAI; JCW exhaust sans resonator, brakes, & GP IC; DDM IC diverter; CSF Racing Aluminum Radiator Suspension: DINAN front strut brace; Alta 22mm rear bar; KW V1 coil-overs; H-Sport adjustable rear control arms; CravenSpeed strut underators Interior: CravenSpeed gauge mounts with Cooper S boost and voltage, & shift well cover Wheels: Enkei PF01 17" Audio: Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994 HU; MTX Terminator speakers F&B Alan @ opensource.com
Gigi Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 No front plate in Louisiana so that's not an option for me. I had it on the back of the rearview mirror mount (I don't have the rain sensor). Don't know how long it will last in southern heat inside the rear sunroof but I'm happy it's there till it melts.
cmcveay Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 How does that work? Can you post a link? How does it protect it from being stolen? It's a license plate frame with the EzPass built into it.

LostDenverite Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 It's a license plate frame with the EzPass built into it. No pics yet. This it? I (personally) can't do that, I move mine to other vehicles a couple of times a year, mostly on rentals. Currently I have mine buried in my glove box and just throw it on the dhas when necessary (I use my infrequently).
CHILLIN Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 There's a tint guy that a lot of club members use, I think he's in Tyson's Ali Does anyone know the name of this place? I've gotten a couple quotes from different places but not sure who will do the best job. I rather go to a place that you guys recommend.
