practicle modifications/accessories you've gotten for your mirage?
what were some accessories that you added that made you love the vehicle that much more? i drive 52 miles to and from work everyday which was the whole reason i got the car and now im just thinking of things to increase comfort as well as "decor" items. like i plan to make my car look kinda like a mimic for funsies since i have a hatchback im making that the mouth.
but i was curious about what made a huge difference for you all. and figured id list what i've done and what im planning to do. as well as some ideas/question.
done:
-tow hook front license plate mount
-weathertech floor mats and trunk mat.
-mag phone holder
-coil USB cable
-steering wheel cover
-waterproof car seat covers front and back.
-LED lights(headlights, roof, etc. gotta order turn signal ones still but wasnt panicked)
-silicone rubber dash mat.
-mimic d20 hanging dice
-rubber trim around gas door to prevent rubbing.
-trash bag
things im planning to do:
-adding a flip down arm rest to the driver seat based on a video i watched( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SqUWlLBlmA&list=WL )
-fog light install based on someone in the facebook group having done them( https://www.ebay.com/itm/284967956425 )
-under foot lighting but im trying to find one i can wire in rather then have to plug into the cig lighter, or a USB plug id rather tie the wiring into the cig lighters wiring because this is shut off when you turn off the car.
-trunk and door scuff protection rubber once i decide one i like.
-contemplating heated side view mirrors which apparently was offered on the mirage outside the US so doing the research before hand but their not expensive to order.(this is to handle rain/snow/ice)
-i want to add more lighting to the roof because i sometimes sit in my car while eating before heading into work in a parking garage and am not impressed with the one in the car but not hating on it either.
-decals and magnets and stickers to the outside to make it look more like a mimic as a joke/fun.
