How many beeps for a cold beer while you're waiting...

Give us first dibs on your car when the divorce forces its sale.

That particular mod would cause severe damage to both my car and my manhood.

Wow, wonder when this thread went south....oh yeah the first post. Asking us what to suggest...like asking a kid does he want peas or candy, no what, nothing like that at all. Damn, it's time for my meds.

You can go kink of crazy with the tip switches. On the left side of the horseshoe I have the standard PSM switch, a spoiler switch and a interior footwell light switch modified to toggle the ODC and to light up when the spoiler is in the up position. One the right side I have the rear defroster switch, the cab top switch and the central locking switch (all standard, at least for a cab). On the bat wing I have the two heated seat switches (added factory heated switches as a DIY) and PSE switch and a Footwell light switch for turning on the aux fans.

The garage door mod is nice but I prefer the "Flash 2 Pass" (http://www.f2ptechnologies.com/category/200/) which uses a double flash of the brights so I have the other functions. No shortage of options!

I hate the blank buttons too. I have an in-dash spoiler switch, which is relatively useless, and the in-dash garage door button. The garage door button is my second favorite mod of all time. I use it every day

But, I still have room for one more

(btw, my favorite mod is the FisterD/PSE muffler hack)

Oh, you got in trouble too?

I should have read the second page before showing this...

This is kind of interesting. It would be better if it also controlled the spoiler, but it just indicates the status.
