My mods are more track oriented, and for convenience, I just ordered most of what I needed from Paragon. Harness bar, seat belt mounts, fire extinguisher, tow hooks, jack pucks, and front radiator guards. I got new interior panels (side panels and waterfall) from GM to cut for the harness bar so I could save my originals. Harnesses from TeamTech and wheels from Forgeline.

This simple little piece of plastic absolutely worth the ridiculously high (for what it is) price!

First "mod" I'm going to do is get a good front splitter for my car since they were on constraint when I ordered. Anyone have any recommendations?

I already did some mods with spacers lol. Couldn’t take the spare wheel offset look of the rear wheels.

I’m ordering Jack pucks next. Also waiting on some proper fitment for mud guards. At least for the fronts.

This was the other one I was about to mention. Dollar per Dollar I don't think you could be a better performance type Modification.

Hmm it goes right to the item when I click it. No matter here a screen shot of the item, you can search the name if the link is not working. I will admit it is kinda expensive for what it is, however it is perfect you are carrying a phone and need a place to keep it where you can get to it ASAP while retaining both cup holders for other items. NOTE: I have shoulder replacement so the wireless charging dock does not work for me really at all as I cannot rotate my should back like that especially if I am in the drivers seat. To that point this was perfect for me.

Does the lid close still?

That wireless charger location is terrible. I didn't have shoulder surgery and it still sucks 🤣

Yup closes perfectly. This is actually one of the reasons I like this little gadget/mod thingy. Looks kinda OEM, closes flush and fits a coffee + Keys + airpods + phone. It is really a simple little thing but is prefect for my needs. For bigger people (who are already snug inside) and/or those with injuries it is a much better option IMO than the wireless tray and the armrest storage will barely store a pack of gum as is.

Even with the warning message, half the time I use the wireless charger, I forget to grab my phone. I generally leave my phone in my pocket so I don't forget it and I don't like it loose in the cupholder.

Does it work with a thin case (i.e., not an otterbox)?

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (the little bit bigger phone) with a slim case and works perfectly.

I've had my car 3 months now and did the following:
1. Pucks
2. Radiator Grills
3. Dust Free brake pads
4. Paragon Mirrors

Next will be rear wheel spacers and clear engine cover.
