OK, aside from the LEATHER WRAP debacle; I had a pretty fun time this weekend mod'ing up my Ody. Here's what I've done (in between washing bugs off which I've done like 5 times since I took delivery 1 1/2 weeks ago):
- LSU license plate installed on front of vehicle. I was looking for a $2 plate when I was visiting my folks and my dad, wanting to do something for me when I came up empty ended up paying a guy at an airbrush shop $20 to paint up a custom one.
STOP ROLLING YOUR EYES! Its 'tasteful'; just a yellow plate w/ the LSU block letters 'freehanded' on the front. It looks better than the 'pre-done' plates because the letters are nice and blocky and fill up the plate nicely. Plus, my daddy got it for me so I'd put it on even if it was a winged pegasus w/ Nyvram in purple script underneath!
- Leather wrap (ouch, nuff said)
- GE SuperBlue Halogen bulbs (#9003SB/BP) to replace front headlights. These are niiiice. Nine bucks apiece at Wal-mart and they're definitely much whiter than the factory 'yellow' lights. They are also legal for street use (big plus you Xenon/HID fans!)

I've snuck out of the house about 4 times tonight to flip the lights on & gaze at them.
- Blaupunkt $20 652s w/ $5 wiring harness from Circuit City. These went in easy and even as a non-audiophile I can tell they sound 100% better than the factory 'am radio' speakers.

- cargo tray (plop!)
Of course, I had to work all these things in around our 2 kids needing constant attention. Here are the mods on the immediate horizon (1-2 months)
- redo steering wrap
- weathertech mats w/ the 'chuck-pedal'

- glovebox light
- traveltheater w/ PS2
- poron or ross backup
- sliding door mod
- zaino from top to bottom
