oh yes there is more than just painiting you can clear out your emblems, you can change your dash light color...really hard though.

Even an intake, strut bar, and clear bumperlenses are relatively cheap on ebay.

I made a guage pod w/ the extra hole to the right of my shifter. I just ran the wires through the dash and cut the hole big enough to fit the guage. Total cost-nada
Total time-30 min.
However when you're in fifth you can't see the guage at all. When I get my OEM carbon fiber dash kit, I'm going to relocate the hazard button to the spare hole and put the guage in the hazard location. I'll post pics if I can figure out how.

You can pretty much paint anything you see, its just knowing how to paint it and what materials to use.. different brands make different paints for parts of you vehicle.. just don't do something stupid by yourself that you will later regret...

Were they attachments? For some reason all attachments were lost when ephatch was down.

use one of them to host your pics instead of using ephatch as your personal server:D
