Second place, CARSMO armrest.

While the rest of my mods are nice and I do not regret them at all, those two have made the most difference.

I think it was $380ish installed by Toyota and part of my factory warranty.

Let me get this straight, you bought an auto dimming rear view mirror? Are you trolling or did you not know that rear view mirrors have a small lever at the bottom for night driving?

Perrin Inlet tube and CAI combo.

Complements my Perrin Catback very nicely.

Nameless exhaust. Now it sounds as good as the rest of the car looks!

I drove the car in the sun more than an hour! and drove it in harsh rain yesterday!

MY13FRS · 03-25-2013, 01:00 AM

Carseats so I can take my kids with me for rides.

Soo... you're a proud owner of a garage queen. Now stop it and drive the damn thing.

Dashcam with parking mode. Gives me that extra peace of mind.

Oh shit! Is that what thing does? OMG, all of these years, I thought it was just some lever they put on there to fiddle with while sitting at a light.

Lemme guess, next you are going to tell me that I should have opted for manual windows because that is what those spinning cranks on the door are for?

The reality is, I bought a rear-view mirror with the garage door opener built into it that happened to have an auto-dimmer feature. If I were to do it again, the auto-dimming feature would be the priority over the opener unquestionably. It has easily proven its value in 3 months.

These are halfway measures. You should get it permanently mounted and hung from a ceiling, like the Wright Brother's Airplane in the Smithsonian.

I don't know why you guys are giving @idreamofdrifting a hard time. Let him do what he wants to do with his car. The important thing is that we all love the car. I'm sure people called this guy crazy years ago when he brought this home:
