What do you guys recommend for a newbie trying to do little things to make the ride more fun. All I have done so far is install Silverstars in the front and blue neon back up lights. What can I do cheap. I am just looking for some simple little things to keep me occupied. I will get new wheels once the money starts rolling in. If I get some neon for the the floor area by my feet, what should I hook the wires up to. I want to run a toggle so I can turn them on an off at will. Plus I have some open toggle area's on the dash as my ride is not a Limited. Thanks for your advice. I want to spend my 1st chunk of cash on Leather seats. What's the best option for finding some or getting leather seat covers. Loren

paint to match your grill and fog housing, chrome yur grill using aluminum flashing tape, clear yur headlight turn signals, black out yur taillight turnsignals with spray tint, tint yur windows all %20, shine the wheels and wax that bad boy.... about the neons...remove your center console around the shifter....snip the shifter light wire that illuminated your gears so u can see what gear yur in at night...split them into pos/neg, (there are 2 wires) and and twist into yur pos/neg on yur neons...super easy and a good way to conceal neon wires...i did it under the dash and seat near your feet and have a nice glow over the floor mats... check out my gallery and you'll get some ideas... also... www.cardomain.com/memberpage/470029

RFT, Thanks for the advice. What color did you paint the front and rear bumpers? If you don't mind, I am kind of using your MS as my model as I really like your ride. Plus I love those centerline snipers as well.
some info for you. I talked with the guys at Auto Leather Inc. about grey leather seat kits for the MS. These are the same guys that have the beige sets that Abner Malidy posted about. The beige are selling for 300 bucks. Anyway the guy told me that they are thinking about making grey ones and they will let me know when they make them. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for your advice. Loren

i also have neon lights I wanted to hook up in my interior, however I want them to turn on like my dome light does when you turn off the alarm. You know how when you disarm the alarm the dome light inside usually comes on (if you have it that way), well instead of the dome light I would like these neon wires to light up instead to light up my interior as I get in my MS. Is there an easy way to do that?

It's only as easy as the dealer says it is. What I mean is, get the schematic for the alarm. There should be a wire that is designated for your dome light, or you can also arm and disarm the alarm, while probing each of the wires with a 12V tester to find which one COULD work for that application. Off hand, I would have to suggest that if you can't find this wire, or one that would(or could) work, (A) hook them to the dome light and change the color bulb in the domes to match(this is just bad@$$ by the way), (B) hook them to your dome light, and disconnect the alarm from the domes, or (C) hook them to your door locks, if you have that feature. In this last case, when you lock or unlock your doors, the power that does this can also power your neons momentarily. I'm not sure how long it takes for your neons to come on, so there may not be enough time to visually see any light in this instance. I stongly suggest choice A, but its up to you. Lemme know how it goes and give us all some cool pics k? Be careful, be prepared and keep flyin!

So your saying just hook the wires of my neon lights to the wires of my dome lights? I was confused when I pulled my domelight and checked the wires. My neon lights havea red and red/black color coded set of wires, while my dome light has a green/brown and black/red striped color coded wires. I'm confused as to which wire will connect to which?
