Compilation of mods

I'd like to start a list here of all the mods out there, the different materials you can use for each, and the ways to attach it to your car. Also include mods such as gap filling and anything you can 'legally' remove.

Air dam and side skirts- heard about using chloroplast from sign shops, haven't tried it so don't have any good ideas on how to attach.

The Airdam on the Laurel is coroplast, and is attached to the plastic lower valence using self-drilling screws and some penny washers. The outer sections that curve around the bumper ends are zip tied to the middle section. It is braced by coroplast triangles on the rear side, also zip tied in place.

Took about an hour to fit, with most of the time spent bracing it from the back to stop it folding under in the wind.

Before:


After (showing zip ties + screws)


Finished product.
