Ash Tray Mod
I had been following a few threads on the homelink system and it gave me an idea.
I simply removed the visor clip from my garage door opener and found that it fits exactly in the space that previously held the ash tray. The stock pressure tabs that held the ash tray in place keep the door opener firmly in place. The door opener is made by Craftsman. $0 dollars invested, about 1 minute of my time, and completly reversible. Plus by closing the ash tray door I can hide it entirely.
By the way it is a rainy day today, and I apparently have too much time on my hands.

Haven't had a chance to check out a horsepower increase yet. I am pretty sure it will amount to about as much gain as I received from the steering wheel and air bag decals.

The decals don't really add power - until you've put on the hood seal. Then - watch out!
