my first mods
minor to say the least. installed the skip shift eliminater and the coloum lock by pass. clb wasn't hard once i found the right wire harness. my 04 had 2 brass clips that held the kick panel in place on the drivers side. i was using instructions from the forum and the 04 does not have the 2 extra torx bolts that it tells you to remove. spent a little time trying to find something that wasn't there. other than that it was easy. if i had to do it again it would take less than 30 minutes. now which catback to buy?

Congrats on taking your first steps down the slippery slope. 
Everytime I think "okay, I'm done", there's about a month that goes by before I get my next "must do" hankering. It started out innocently enough...
Window Valet - everybody needs one, especially us vert guys, right?
iPod2car - Didn't have the factory CD changer, so I just had to, right?
Homelink visor - After all, the factory SHOULD have done this, right?
Proximity sensor - Just too cool to pass up, being a vert owner, right?
Radar detector with power cord to mirror - I mean, why not, right?
Silverstars - Just got to have better headlights, so sure, why not?
Girl-in-a-box cupholders - iPod sits in factory cupholder. Had to, right?
Infinity reference to replace Bose speakers. I mean, why not, right?
