Default Advice for inexpensive mods on the tC?

so the deal is, i have little money and wanna make a few little tweaks to spaz up my FM, so do you have any suggestions? How much would it cost to add those LED's to the windshield fluid thingamajigs, etc...

(links, pics, any sort of visual aids appreciated)

The windshield washer thing runs about $15 or so plus shipping. IMO, fast and easy mods you can really enjoy include replacing the interior lights with LED's. I bought mine from www.superbrightleds.com and they worked great.

The little cubby hole LED is a #74 i believe. The dome and map lights up front are wedge bulbs (WLED-B4 Blue LED bulb what I used - need 3 total). The backseat dome is a festoon bulb (31x10 need 1). This is a tight fit, but it does work.

Search on the electrical section and there are tons of little mods with pics and instructions

If you didn't get it yet, you will receive a $50 gift card from scion. I kicked in about $30 bucks and got myself obx pedal covers and shift ****. This simple mod gives the interior a very nice look!

Default cool mod

here is a nice little mod i did...just take a key chain like the one you see and super glue it to your cigarette lighter looks pretty nice i think...and no the super glue doesnt look tacky you can barely even tell unless i told you.

Personally, I think it would look nicer on the passanger's dash... I wonder what would happen though if the air bag popped.

paintball369,

That's the cheapest cost for mod I have seen so for. Good idea! I might just do that because I'm not using it anyway.
