Thanks everyone! My mantra is keep the car forever, so I try to look at the long term view when doing mods and do them super carefully.

That's actually a really good idea, I hadn't though of it. I'd have to strip them and re-paint them, so it would have to be over a few days that I don't need the car (it's my dd and only vehicle). Going on the to-do list.

I still need to write up the wind deflector install, definitely a good mod and the one my girlfriend likes the most. Most guides out there have the silver covers, I wanted black ones to match what was already on there and was able to find the parts.

I also removed the yellow visor stickers using goof off.

Next mods:
- Better tires. I'm thinking either DW or PSS.
- Ceramic brake pads.
- Weighted shift knob. This one is going to be interesting, I'm considering weighing the rod under the shift boot by just 3 ounces (I don't want a shorter knob aka ZHP, as I like the stock height, plus I don't want to lose illumination or pay an extra $150 for it).
- Maybe carbon fiber drive shaft.
- Upgrading engine bolts to 10.9 and adding nord lock washers.
- Nord locks on rear sway bars.
- Adding First Aid kits to add storage under both seats.
- Painting the orange reflectors with Nikki.
- ...
