Maybe an HID kit

Bwoody Sway Bar Links $240 (I think)

CAI Maybe a little more than $300

Catch Can & Intake Spacers

Front & Rear Sway Bars

None of these have install included but are relatively easy too do.

I always wanted a dead pedal from Ultimate Pedals.

http://www.ultimatepedals.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=89_90&products_id=2518

I think the shiny smooth with flat round insert would match the stock petals pretty good. Plus its only $64!

Mopar spoiler or Led tail lights...tinted

10-07-2008, 04:41 PM
You can't go wrong with an Led interior kit from marcel. Love it and so do others.

Or Weathertech interior liners

Or cardata spoiler

Or billet tech underhood appearance kit

Or custom cmr tune

Or carbon fiber dash kit
There's a lot of options. Some of which you can have 2 of.

Do you like the new prog/halo fogs? Do they shoot a better beam?

They shoot a much sharper beam and they have a great cutoff, so no more worrying about blinding other drivers with the HID's.

Thanks for that link! I just ordered a dead pedal and a heel guard for my Jeep and a heel guard for my V (I already have the rest of the set for the V).

Do any of you have problems with your heel digging through the floor mat and leavin a dimple in the floor board from always having your right foot in the same spot?

I bought them off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200254147614&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=010


No, they are H3 I believe. I bought HID 30K bulbs for them for $24 on ebay too: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160285593071&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=006


I hope they're deep enough for HID bulbs. The HID bulbs haven't arrived yet and I haven't been home to test them.


The rings are white when illuminated. I personally hate the halo-look and don't intend to connect them.


Haven't noticed any fogging yet since I haven't driven it with them yet. :mad: I won't be home until the Saturday. :(
