Default Dirt-cheap mods 101

on this rainy-ass day, I repainted my windsheild wiper arms black and cut the wires on the inner tail lights, thus giving me that "euro-look" thats oh-so popular

hell, any mod to the 96-98 sedan tails is an improvement, sans those bling-blingin' altezza's. Although, sad to say, I'm considering carbon fiber altezza's to match my black housing projectors, in a similar fasion as MaxBoost's envy-stricking ride.

lets start an El-cheapo mod list, you know, do-it-yourself-er's that can be done on a boring day.

Why didn't you just unplug the inner tails if you don't want them on? Cutting them would be the last thing I would do if I were in your position. It's not like the plugs are hard to get to, either.

I tried, but then the break lights wouldn't come on. And I'm too lazy to break out the wrench and go hunting for the bulb. I own the car, and intend to till the day it dies, like my accord, so there

Bust out a pair of scissors and start cutting some wires. Then, try to get the car working again.
