Default Small Mods

I am working on getting my xmas list together and i am trying to think of all the smaller mods (mainly cosmetic) that I could put into my S to increase the show potential and I was wondering what everyone has done (post pics if you have them) I am looking for parts that run no more than $200. I am thinking about some mugen and spoon accents in the engine bay and some cf in there as well... I currently have wheels, seats, and comptech cai. I am open to all suggestions

Thanks
Brittany

It's hard because you already have an AP2. I always tell everyone with an AP1 to upgrade to some of the nicer AP2 interior mods . I also have the comptech and IMO nothing looks nicer than some cf in the engine bay. I plan to get a cf strut bar, radiator shroud and spark plug cover (spoon makes one).

Ricks2k.com has some nice stuff.

I have one of their "Team Voodoo" shift knobs and love it.

It has a different look - reminds me of a Ferrari shft knob - and a shorter shift throw. (Although the stock throw is plenty short.)

They offer custom ingraving - I went with the ingraved shift pattern - in case I forget how many gears there are

You thought about clear side markers, black crome emblems, the custom rear and front "S" badges, do you have an aftermarket shift knob. How about a samco colored radiator hoses or a carbon fiber or titanium hood panel?

Remove the vinyl first.

Then a cheap cooling plate, battery tie-down, injector cover and caliper paint.

Forgot to mention Team Voodo shift knobs. They are soooo nice! I have the Pearl Aluminum, but I decided to go without any engraving for two reasons:

1) It arrives much quicker!
2) I always found it annoying to have to adjust lug nuts in order to position a shift knob so that the shift pattern is aligned perfectly straight. With this, I just put it on as tight as possible and it's so easy. It goes very nice with the AP2 interior...radio door, console, etc.

Also , you could get a billet oil cap and battery tie down.
