We have lots of threads that discuss major engine and transmission modifications. We also have threads to talk about bodywork, etc. Those are great, but not what this thread is about!
This thread is to share small custom touches you have added to your car. These are small changes we have made to increase the enjoyment, functionality, looks, etc. of our cars. Some turn out great (what worked) and some turn out to be not as good as we hoped (what didn't work).
Post them up!
I'll start with a couple to get us going:
What Worked:
For people to ride more safely in the back seat, I added 3 point seat belts. These used factory shoulder belt holes in my 1970 Road Runner package tray. They work great and in my opinion, look like they might have come from the factory:
What Didn't Work (so well):
We have tons of devices nowadays that need charging or power. Things like phones, Garmin navigation, etc. So I figured I would add an extra power port inside my glove box so I could charge a phone and have it be out of the way. A cord can also easily pass through the bottom side of the door even when closed to power a Garmin navigation unit.
This works great in some cases, but in many cases the plug that fits into to power port is too big so I can't close the glove compartment door! I should have placed this at the very back of the glove compartment, but in my case I had other stuff jammed back there that made this modification not possible.
