Just a few accessories that I would like to mention.
I bought a rear cargo mat so my dogs wouldnt hurt the upholstery. Bought side window visors since we get a lot of rain and I like to have the windows open without getting wet. I realize this may impact my mileage a bit but its worth it. I bought a "bra" but havent been able to fit it on the flared fenders around the wheel wells. My auto -parts dealer recommends using double sided tape to attach the bra since there are no real rivets to attach to.
I really enjoy being at a traffic light or in heavy traffic and not hearing anything from my engine - like South Park says = we've replaced smog with smug.
