What's custom in your car?

Hey guys, I was just wondering what all you guys have done to your car? Such as how 1989MaxMan is making gauge pods in the center console and all. I want to see some custom ideas and all.

Here is what I got:
Plexiglass and Blue Neon

Ash Tray Switch


Keep it postin'

Thanks for reading

LOL I have that exact same mug. My tray however is not blessed.

I use the passenger seat lap belt for my cupholder, especially when I'm bringing home the 128 oz from Taco Hell.

I lost all the little grey screws holding them in.. they've been replaced with tan/brown ones from my parts car because I'm too cheap to buy new ones. so they're not stock either.

In terms of true custom (can't just go buy it and install it), I have:

-custom rear deck for my 10's
-custom cupholder in the center arm rest
-custom analog clock
-custom radio/console area trim plate
-leather, Audi e-brake boot
-custom front license plate bracket
-home-made short-shifter
-custom suede door inserts
-custom tweeter mounts in doors
-custom 6.5" door mounts
-door grills covered in speaker cloth
-polished transmission
-raised trunk floor with full-size spare


Still want to:

-add suede to the headliner and seat inserts
-custom LED gauges
-custom gauge housing
-custom full-length console
-put 8's up front
-build a body-kit
-LED dome, trunk, door, door handle, ignition and more
-custom CAI
-polish full intake system
-install folding rear seat w/pass-thru
-install rear fog light
-install seat heaters and Audi TT controls (if I can find some that is...)

I recall about a year ago when I tried to claim my carpet wasn't stock because it came out of Jeffy's car that you claimed it was still infact stock.

All stock, minus radio/temp control trim piece with about six holes in them where the light is(the one that shines down onto the head unit), it now has two high intensity yellow led in them, looks nice when shifting at night.
speedo cluster with 194A bulbs in them, looks like a beemer's dash now (for those with e36 headlight, give this one a shot, you might like it, cheap as hell, and better readability at night too.)
custom sunroof that sinks into the cutout and sunroof cover is gone too (if anyone know how to fix this, please by all means shoot me a PM or a post)
custom supercharger noise via broken exhaust manifold
custom spoiler flapping in the wind

Custom wire and electrical tape disbling my seatbelt sensors, and custom electrical tape over a crack/hole in my MAF.

I used to have a 6-ball as my shift **** (I drilled the hole and tapped it at work) since my old shiftknob was more of a ********. But, the cool 6 proved too heavy, so I ditched it.

HERE IS THE NEW MOTTO:

"Do what, keep the car stock? The current units are...are...DIRTY! That's it! So they need to be replaced and these are a better deal than the stock parts. "
