Non-Performance Mods FAQ suggestions?

Hey guys, can you give me a list of topics that come up regularly here in this particular forum that should be in our FAQ? It would help if you typed out the title, and then found a thread that has the related discussion going on. I'll be able to get it added.

Thanks!

Im not sure off the top of my head if there were any threads to actually do a good job at answering, but I've seen a lot of threads about Subwoofer enclosures. Perhaps the trunks measurements, or a thread on how to create your own molded/fiberglassed boxes could help.

Here are my suggestions:

The down-low on lights (stock vs halogen vs projector vs HID), could include the kinds of tail lights with picture examples (CF, clear.. etc)

Conversion info. 95-96 to 97-99 headlights, bumpers, side skirts, spoiler. Also talon to 97-99.

other stuff I can think of, but not that important as a FAQ, although would be cool:

body kit pictures and maybe what people think of them if they own (review)
same with rims
custom unique stuff.. targas, whatever :P
stereo, alarm..

thats all i have now, may edit later if i think of more

there is a great thread going on at DSMTalk regarding building fiberglass enclosures. somewhere around the 3rd page i posted a link to a "how-to" that i did with pics and instructions on how i did my fiberglass enclosure. it may help out some people when doing their own projects.

Here is the Link

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.

- 1ga Headlight Modifications (sleepy eye mod, keeping them in the down position, HID, custom headlights) those always come up..

- Eliminating your backseats and what you put there ..

Those are two that im tired of reading about for sure .. especially since theres never any new news on either topic ..

Maybe a brief how to paint guide? Like what you will need and stuff like that. If you can give me some time I can have one done by july when I'm done painting my car. It will be a general overview type of thing with steps, type of sandpaper touse when, etc. Let me know now if your interested tho because I am starting very shortly and I will not be able to take pics half way through if you know what I mean.

carbon hoods and hatches for both generations

How about some type of faq that lists all available carbon fiber hoods and hatches for both generations of dsm's. Something that has links where to buy them from, and links to people's experience's with them. Maybe even a faq on what people's experience's have been with different hoods and their fitment issues. Also things such as what hoods need hood pins and what hoods have fading issues. Just a thought. BTW I wanna say thanks to everyone of the moderators and everyone else that help build this site, I learn something about our cars everyday on this site, in fact this site is so good I would pay to be a member Just wanna give credit where credit is due.

1. Conversion kits(IE:Talon-Eclipse, '95-96' to '97-'99 front/rear)

2. Tire and wheel guide with links to car veiwers where you can select existing wheels on your car.

3. Window tint guide with reference to state laws

4. Carbon fiber shopping guide

5. Interior maintainance and repair

6. Interior modification, Someone should demonstrate how to make any color/fabric shift boot from your stock one.(done it with mine and could provide a writeup by request)

That's all I got right now

The dealer can give you the paint code if you tell them your vin number.

There should probably be one on buffing and color sanding. Plus one about getting stains and discolorations out of your seats, carpet, headliner, etc, and emoving pinstripes & badges.

I think there needs to be a different section just on wheels. People are always asking does this wheel fit? how does this wheel look? and theres the whole bunch of people who post a thread that shows pictures of their wheels that they just painted.
