Thought I would do a couple free modifications to my car since I have very little gas and no money

Painted Engine cover and accessories



LIBERATE sticker (veganthis.org)

Protesting Is Patriotic sticker



Took out my spare tire

Footwell LEDs (can't figure out how to wire through the firewall so I'ma wait to hook them up on the battery





Also took off the Windshield wipers.

Anyone know how I would go about trading in my car. I'm not sure if I want to or not, this is my first car but I wanted a 3.5mt but I got a 2.5cvt since my parents through down the money.

But is there a way to trade in my car for a 3.5 even though my payments arent over. seems kind of complicated idk.

Uh yea... just take your car to the dealer and tell them that you want to trade it in for a 3.5 Depending on how much down payment your parents put for you... you might be upside down on your loan because the car has depreciated a lot.

Took off the windshield wipers?

Trying to save wait?

If so, put yourself on a diet and leave the car alone

Ya the windshield wiper thing is strictly cosmetic. I don't really need them right now, they will probably go on again next week I was just bored and was looking for things to modify

Im already on a pretty strict vegan diet if you couldn't tell so I'm not sure what other diet would let me lose weight lol. (lo carb lo protein )

Ya that's what I thought. well whatever, maybe when I am ready to purchase my own car I can get what I am really aspiring for at the time thanks.

The modifications that you have done could possilby devalue the car for a trade in. Most modifications in general add no value at trade in. They may add value to the private buyer, but a dealership wants a car as close to stock as possible for general sale. When you buy a car from a dealership, you mostly do not want to see someone elses stamp/mod on it. A delaership could see a modded car as a clean up nightmare and deduct their furbishing cost from their offer. If you want to trade it in, stop modding it, if you want to keep it, mod away.

its a hawaiian (sp) warrior mask, scaled down of course. my mom went to hawaii and brought me one back a couple years ago. small world?

but yeah, my advice, if you want it, is to just keep the car, enjoy better mpg, save your money, and buy a kick a$$ car, the one want, later on.

just my .02

no car should ever have that many stickers unless its sponsored, and those stickers make the owner money

Im still here and stickers are still on. the protesting sticker came out a little bigger than I wanted but whatever its only visible on cold nights and when my car is parked, other than that my windows are down.

one day ban for who...

btw, I'd rather raise my voice with my car than have cops on me for endless stickers (eibach,stillen,injen etc.) youre just giving the cops a heads up that you are into tuning your car
