Don't even know if this counts as a “mod” but today I bought a new set of rims for my girl. I shopped and compared for many days before finally settling on the Kazera KZ-S 17×7 chrome-plated rim from TireRack.com…
My plan is to put my existing tires on the new rims, and then come winter, put new tires on the old rims and swap wheels until spring. That way my chrome wheels will avoid the worst of the salt and other crud on the roads here in wintertime.
Word to the wise, beware the Nakayama Zoro 10 “chrome” rim. Well, there may be nothing wrong with the rim, but a lot of sites are advertising it as a Chrome rim when in fact it is painted to look like chrome.
Another thing I'd like to add to Vanessa are chrome bumper wraps. In addition I've seen sites advertising chrome inserts for the door handle recesses, stainless steel appliques for the window pillars, and chrome wraps for the mirrors.
I'm setting myself a limited annual budget so I can only do a small amount each year. Next year the plan is for the bumper wraps and a chrome billet grille.
After that? Speculative stuff… maybe lowering the body? Not sure if I want to do that. I'd like to replace the door spears that run along the side near the base of the doors with a chrome version like they have on the limited PTs.
I've half heartedly looked at undercarriage lighting, but that seems a little silly to me. Think we'll wait and see on that.
