Default Sick mods for your TI!?

I just got around to taking pictures of a piece of my car that I forgot to include in my bio over in the introductions section. This is the first mod that I mad made to my '96 mostly stock ti. It was a creation of necessity, because when I purchased my TI, it came without a volume knob. Personally, I think I got a lot of bang for my (one)buck and a good idea. My new volume knob now has a very nice feel to use, and is very easy to tell the level of my NOISE because the knob isn't round.

If anybody else has any cool mods for their cars let's hear them!

To make it, I followed a few simple steps which you can all follow:

I bought some Fimo or Sculpey or any other over curing style clay for a dollar and used about the size of a fingertip's worth of clay to shape the knob. I used a knife or tool to sculpt the details in the ear, and then I fit the UNbaked ear on the little metal rod that the knob attaches to. After I made sure it was fit and had a hole to attach it, (IMPORTANT) I pinched the attachment end closed a little for a tight fit. I then baked the knob per instructions and sanded the cured product.


Here it is... ONE SICK MOD!
