Non-Performance Mods FAQ suggestions?

[khartley]

It might be cool if there was a list of really cheap/free appearance mods...I personally can name around ten that are $20 and under.

 

[Sinnsyk]

So, please tell me. I need that list.

How about better supportive seats that fit with out checking you where the good lord split 'ya.
Does Mitsubishi or Chrysler make them? (i.e. I've seen some civic es with NSX seats.) I love the look of the tuner seats but hate the in and out "feel."http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif

its the wiring of the 2g for aftermarket stereos. if you do a search on my replies on that very topic alone in this section you will see ive explained it several times.

i bet if you gather up most of my replies its enough to make a FAQ on its own. ive been wanting to write one but ive been busy hurting dsm vendors by proving ebay products work just fine

 

[Jenstyler]

I was wondering if anyone knew the general specs for a 2g GSX like trim level/package details like do all GSXs come with leather, sunroof, cruise, fogs, stuff like that. Thanks

 

[moouse80]

Have you checked out wikipedia?"

carbon fiber hatch always looks amazing

I agree with the post on car care. I detailed for a bit at an infiniti dealer and i can say that knowing the proper procedure and using the right kinds (they dont have to be the most expensive brands in the world) of products for certain tasks makes all the difference in the world. With some time and effort regular people can make regular cars look almost car show ready. So just basically a detailing FAQ in general for the less experienced would be nice, as well as throwing in dsm specific tricks (I'm talking about you 2g defrost vents...)

Adding/reprinting Font specs for each gen/model so I can use my cnc to reproduce worn/faded lettering

You can order most of that stuff from the dealers still. You can even get the DSM plate reproduced call the dealership with your vin number.

I want to make and reproduce my own raised lettering.
Small details the factories never do hold up.
The letters wear off or are never painted at all if they are raised at all.
If I can get the DSM fonts I can detail all my switches and gauges with unique yet tasteful finish.
I could also make inlays and overlays for my door panels knobs and such out of many materials.
For instance.I would like to see how mahogany or brushed aluminum would look instead of the cheap plastic.

As a mid westerner i know all to well how hard it is to keep a dsm comfortable and now sitting in phoenix the heat is killing me. I was introduced to a heat reflective underlayment for roofing called low-e. this stuff is double foil faced and offers an R-9 and weighs nothing! the 500sq ft roll weighs like 5 lbs. so im lining my roof, and door panels. pics to come. you can pic it up at abc supply. insulate your house and use the extra in your car!

How about a faq on replacing the door handles. I know mine can be quite difficult. Also suitable aftermarket replacements

 

[Ckkime55]

how about something covering reducing road noise inside the car? i haven't seen anything covering that (so i guess its not a FAQ) although i can't imagine that i am the only one that gets a LOT of road noise.

Dynnamat or peal and seal always helps. but in order to do it properly you have to remove the seats and carpet and cover every square inch of metal with this stuff.

Heres a good one i think. Making your own custom covers that cover the rear hatch area. I bet some dsmers have some pretty unique ideas and designs. I am currently designing some different ones.

Yep! I have one. It holds 2 6x9s and a custom made light. I am going to make a new one later this year out of fiberglass.
