It all started with just wanting to replace the factory stereo, haha. Just wanted AUX in and tuned into a full system and then into doing minor repairs and a big cleaning of the car... then LED happy.

Clean! And I love the placement of the switch for the LEDs, I haven't yet found a use for that stupid little thing, might steal your idea.

Haha, thanks! I like to keep my cars clean, lol.
Yeah, I was struggling to find a place for a switch. The only place I found was my adapter plate under my Head Unit, until I looked at that little coin/ash holder. I took an old broken power supply from my Laptop and cut it to fit in that space and epoxied it in, makes it so I didn't have to permanetly modify anything on the vehicle.

Any suggestions on what to do next? I am not looking for anything performance wise, as I do not race, and unfortunately I only drive 1 mile to work, so trying to improve gas mileage isn't really useful. Also, most things are going to be done on the inside.
I may look into getting some new rims (only like 16" or 17" once I need new tires) and may also have someone do my tinting, although MN law is only 50%

Drop it and get new struts. Tint tail lights slightly, and paint headlight bezels flat black. Grill mesh in fog light holes too.
And remove the GM sticker on the back passenger window. They ugly :P

I probably wont drop it. My car has a hard enough time with snow in the winter, haha. This last winter got her stuck once going to work. Although I do like the dropped look, I just don't think in my situation here it would be good.
But I might do the tail lights and bezels, and the grill mesh look I always thought was cool. Good suggestions! Something for my next project, lol.
