Real Mods!

[TheIntrepid]

So I went to the junkyard and got some new parts for the Trep. These count as "Real" mods!

First up: Leather shifter from a 300M


Next to the old plastic one



Auto-Dim mirror, instead of the old flippy stick one



Retractable Cupholders from a '99 Intrepid




As opposed to the old '04 ones, which look like shit and went into my buddy's car, from where I got the cupholders



New signal bulbs


Because the old ones were peeling



And a new license plate bracket, because my old one was done for




I can proudly say, I did all the work myself, which is a big accomplishment for me. I also got new steelies for the winter.

Also, my interior looks gray in the pics, as well as the cupholders and shifter. It's all JET BLACK. The color of the cupholders doesn't seem to match in pics, but in real life it looks perfect.

What did it end up costing you?

See, junkyards are fun!

[TheIntrepid]

Oh yeah, $40 for everything. Ciprian said it was a steal because the auto-dim mirror itself is worth $50. All the parts are mint, except the cupholders, but a little bit of cleaning with a wet cloth made them look mint too.


edit: Also got a carpet trunklid liner from a '98 ES, because the '04s didn't come with it. It looks pretty nice; I forgot to mention it because well, it's in the trunk. Reminds me, I have to show my dad that, because I forgot earlier.

You really need to take a toothbrush or a paint brush and clean out the little cracks in your dash.

I can't tell if you're being an ass or being sincere...

Raza has that effect on people.

There's an old adage I heard somewhere that went something like "If there's any doubt, there is no doubt."

What's life without mystery?

I thought he was serious.

Then I noticed "he" is Raza.
