Had the day off today so I began to contemplate more mods to do to the Insight. Scott's belly pan arrives the 27th and I'm guessing Daox's shift knob will arrive sometime around then. Once it arrives and I figure out how it works, I'll PM Natalya and see if she's still selling the FAS setups.

The view out the side mirrors isn't that great, especially with the driver's side one bondoed on at an angle designed for a shorter driver. There are two 2" diameter circular mirrors glued to the mirrors that I was thinking of taking off, removing both side mirrors, and mounting the smaller mirrors in their place. Would also be buying a panoramic rearview mirror, which should hopefully improve rear visibility. Going to get both of the following mirrors and then return the one I don't like:

https://www.amazon.com/Yoolight-Univ...dp/B078YP2MMW/

https://www.amazon.com/Broadway-BW84...dp/B0040DXAWI/

Brake reduction clips are in the shopping cart: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5PII1M/

Also ordering LED reverse lights, since the factory ones aren't bright enough for all the backing out of driveways I do at night during delivery runs. The bulb size is 921, and I've read good reviews about the Sylvania ZEVOs. $25 most places but found them for $16 shipped on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Sylvani...e/332967866684
