Reddit mentions: The best automotive body parts

I currently own five sets of paddle shift extensions for my MK6, these being one of them.

My issues with these were that they don't really "cup" the factory paddles like some of the other sets. The ones that you posted for the MK7 rely on screws to anchor them to the paddles, which is great for stability. Unfortunately for us MK6 guys, they adhere with tape, which leads to them just kind of hanging on there. I've found that the paddles flex too much if you grab them too far towards the top or bottom.

That aside, they look great, and have a nice feel/heft to them because they are aluminum, but for me the flexing was a deal breaker.

If you decide to go for them this is where I bought mine.

These are very popular, but a little on the thick side (for me personally), so when I would pull the stalk for the rear wiper or high beam, the stalk would nearly touch the shifter.

I found these, which are exactly like the ones in the last link, but they are a one-piece design which makes them much thinner. They "cup" the paddles and have almost zero flex. They are the ones I currently have on my car, and are easily my favorite out of all the ones I've been through. They're actually make by the same company you linked to in your post, Pinalloy.

If you have any other questions, let me know! I'm happy to help!

Day one -- get some ZL1 rock & mud guards, hellcat spoiler swap, luxe taillight/sidemarker tints, and inside/door LED light swap. Pretty much the most affordable and easy mods you can do. The spoiler may be a bit pricey.

The rock & mud guards will run you about $95 after shipping.

The luxe taillight and the luxe sidemarker tints will run you about $35 and $25 respectively.

The LED swap can run you anywhere between $10-$30 depending on what you find. This was one of the first links I found. If you want to swap the map bulb (these lights that are above you that comes on automatically) you need to get another kit but it's pretty cheap at around $8.

The hellcat spoiler swap will run you a little over $100 with shipping. The one I linked fits in the holes already drilled for the stock spoiler (if you have one). If you don't have one, you'll need some drilling done. If you have one, you may need to fill a hole or two on either side of the trunk.

Overall these quick and easy mods will run you about $300 or so but will drastically change the look of your car.

Further mods that I recommend are exhausts (catback exhausts are your best bang for your buck, though they'll run you upwards of $1,000+). If you're interested in changing out the exhaust, look up American Thunder by Flowmaster or Borla S-Type/ATAK. If you want to hear what an S-Type sounds like, I posted a video not too long ago. Also, for the exhausts, it doesn't matter if they're made for RWD or AWD. The Chargers aren't different from the cat back when it comes to transmission/drive-train so RWD exhaust systems will fit the AWD vehicles.

A cold air intake can also be a slight improvement. Though there's negligible hp/mpg gains, it deepens the exhaust of the car a bit. I found that after I put mine on, my exhaust had a deeper and more rumbling tone. And, it makes a cool noise too.

Unless you're powder coating, I'd leave calipers alone. The paint never lasts as long as they're advertised to. Besides, the grey/silver calipers look nice even if left stock.

(relatively) inexpensive mods I've done:

• Window tint; not only looks good, but saves you $$$ over time as your car uses less energy to keep the cabin cool
  
• if you have aero wheels, you can take off the hubcap and cover the center hole and lugnuts with a kit that costs $50 from Tesla.
  
• Might be placebo, but I believe this helps wind noise:
  https://www.amazon.com/AY-Customs-Windshield-Dampening-Reduction/dp/B07N1DXSH5
  RPMTesla makes one too, but costs more and they have less than stellar customer service, according to this sub.
  
• Full chrome delete may be pricey if you pay someone else, but there are inexpensive wrap for just the door handles on amazon, and are easy to install. Your hands will thank you on hot sunny days.
  
• Tesla's paint repair kit. It's a great kit and I've already repaired several rock chips on the side panels, hood and front bumper and they disappeared completely. Follow their video instructions. You'll never consider an expensive wrap after learning how to do this properly.
  
• Not exterior, but /u/kenriko's excellent center console wrap really transforms the fingerprint-magnet interior.

You could probably use something like a christmas tree fastener, or plastic rivets. There are push type plastic rivets and ones that require a special riveting tool to use. I know early 2000's on Chrysler loves using plastic rivets. My old 97 grand prix had some of the christmas tree fasteners holding plastic parts to metal similarly to that, so that would be my first guess.

Edit: looks like they might use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Nissan-Universal-Fender-Retainers-Diameter/dp/B0093RRSXS Those are like the push pin styled rivets I was talking about. Scrolling down in the QA section, it looks like they fit an 10 splash shield. You'd want to measure the hole size and get the appropriate sized fastener.

Not sure why I can't seem to link to the post in the app, can only copy the text, so here it is from another thread. Hopefully it copies ok.

As requested, here are my pics of both the white console wrap and the white steering wheel wraps. I was initially worried about getting the white interior, but now it's my fave part of the cars look. I have the black exterior with white interior...call it Venom and am loving every minute of this car ("almost" makes me wish my commute was longer than 15 mins...haha).

Great minds think alike, Parkie. I ordered those things for one of the PWP in our support group.

We didn't try the seat belt helper you linked, but now that I see it I think that could be a big help to him.

The standing assist was a hit--it helps a lot getting out of the car. It's also called a car cane.

The swivel seat didn't work for him because he was too tall--it's about 1.5 inches high and he didn't have enough headroom. Swivel seats come in differing heights, so check that out if anyone here is interested in trying one.

Something else you might want to check out is a rigid seat belt extender. The one I linked is for Jeep Cherokees, so do a search for your own car model. This extends the seat belt connector 8 inches up in the air, so now the PWP can connect his own seat belt. Before this, his wife would have to crawl over him to do up the seatbelt.

I'm wondering if anyone has rigged their car up with a seat like this? The whole seat swivels, the lowers down to the ground so the PWP just has to sit down like a regular chair.

My vote goes to the BesTop Trektop NX. I've only had mine for about a year, so only time will tell how durable it is. However, the zippers and top material are much sturdier than the QuadraTop I previously had, but you certainly pay for it. I really like the sunrider feature, which allows you to flip up the front of the top, so if you want a little more openness but don't want to take all the windows out then it's a super convenient option. Also, the bows that go from either side of the roll bars really help cut down on wind noise. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004P23VNW/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

Nice yah I like the Mudflaps plus it helps keep the sides clean.

Not the answer you're looking for, but something I have found VERY useful given my height (6'5"). Not just in my Promaster, but my other car as well, I would always have to scrunch down to see stoplights .... very annoying and uncomfortable over time. This has made a HUGE difference:

LightInSight Specialized Windshield Lens: hhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K31M554

I have a Promaster and I have found it to be reasonably comfortable to drive. I feel your pain. Best of luck in your search!

A few amazon recommendations:

XR Charging port cover: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Z41BT9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This one stays on pretty well. I pretty much only put it on if there's a possibility of a rain shower on my way.

XR Power Button cover: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ISNX7LO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These don't stay on as well as the Charge Port covers, but they get the job done for possibly rainy ridge, and they're cheap enough to not worry if one falls off during a spill.

Cheap but effective handle: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RPBA606/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the handle I ended up going with. It works well, though it does slide a little down the rails. So it's not always level when you pick it up. (It was on sale when I bought it.)

For a more crafty person, I'd just get some paracord and use one of the guides in this subreddit to create your own handle.

I have a q50 so the part could be different but on my car they are held on with the plastic push anchor things- black "washer" with insertable portion and a center part that expands the washer and is removed with a flat head.
They are all over the car, for a temporary fix I'd check the engine bay over your radiator area, there should be about a million of them holding the ram-air-box-cover-majigger in place. also probably some in your trunk.
This is them but I'd be willing to bet a dealer will replace it for free.

Edit: pretty sure it's Part No. 01553-2DR9A but it'll set you back a pretty penny- 11 of them to be exact, haha

Easily the t300 gt it runs about 360 [on the German amazon] (https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B01HRYFODO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1491256865&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=T300+gt&dpPl=1&dpID=41FH4dYDMKL&ref=plSrch). You can add a shifter. Or get this version which has a better Alcantara rim. Either way both these wheelbase will provide much better force feedback, better pedals and the Ferrari bundle a better rim than the Logitech offering.

Yup, frameless is nice. I have a hardtop for winter, but this past summer bought the Bestop NX Frameless .

Being able to just zip off the sides and back is really nice. I also really like the sunrider feature, which is basically a sunroof for driver and passenger. And yes you can drive with it open on the freeway.

​

I did it in an afternoon. Technically its not complex, the riveting is interesting, but doable with a youtube tutorial. I followed this tutorial for the entire project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV_3HJt2_Uk


I would recommend having a friend because stretching the new material is difficult to do on your own. I would also recommend buying a roof with a rain rail installed, as I can imagine it would be a pita.


Finally it took a while for me for my fabric to be pliable enough to get the rain rail fastened in. I actually tightened it first without the metal rails that hold in place, and then as it heated up with the sun I was slowly but surely able to get it completely on.


This is the one I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FKHDYZK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and its been fairly nice for about a month now.


If you are buying it with the frame, it would be a cake walk

Of those 3 the TX (XBox version of the T300) has the best FFB, but has the crappy 2 pedal set.

The T150 has slightly better FFB than the G29.

The pedals of the G29 and T150 RS Pro are roughly the same, both decent.

I assume the G29 price does not include the shifter (you need to buy it separately), so I would say the T150 is the better choice at that price.

Me, I'd spend a little extra for something like the T300 RS GT Edition (T300 with a decent 3 pedals set similar to the G29's/T150 RS Pro's).

I couldn't find any adapters for the T150. The T300 has some though.

I have these on my TJ. I just recommend replacing the giant hand-turned bolts with some hex head bolts, as they are easier to get really tight (the size you will need is M8-1.25, but I can't remember how long it needs to be). The ones that come with it are hard to tighten and may result in your mirrors folding back in at highway speeds. Aside from that, they are pretty sturdy. Took them out on the trail and even with all the shit that hit them, they didn't even bend.

P3D- all the way. If you don't plan on actually tracking the car (or intend to go like, once or twice), there's honestly no need for performance brakes, performance wheels, and performance suspension. Just leads to more money at replacement time, more pothole potential, and more scraping potential. Stealth gets you the important benefits of Performance for a fraction of the price.


I ordered a P3D- and I have Pedal Covers to take care of all the functional aspects I care about.

Thanks!
Hood deflector was the AVS 21681: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018AIGTGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The window visors were AVS 994036: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AIFTSEU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I highly recommend the visors, I had gotten my dad some normal ones at his request for his Tacoma and didn't like the way they bulged out, but these are perfect, you can't really tell they are there from straight on.

These are the best purchase I ever made. They cost pocket change and if you adjust everything right my blindspot is nonexistant. I watch cars go from my rear view to my side view to my blindspot (mirrors) to my peripheral vision. If there is a blindspot, its too small to make a difference.

Partly why I was thinking the 7 mirrors would be excessive but as op explained about people with limited upper body movement that makes sense.

They're also great for helping newer drivers learn how to back into spots since they can look at the lines and get a point of reference! Really helped my girlfriend out when she was learning

Sorry for the late reply, it’s a great bumper and really cheap. Came in perfect condition, all hardware was there, paint looked good. Took about an hour to take the stock off, 20-30 min to put the new one on

I got mine from Amazon, and it is working out great for me, they are really all the same, just find one for a good price like this

These are them if I am not mistaken. I have them on my three and love them. Foot rest sold separately.

Should not be a referral link, just a straight share from Amazon App.

I've always like the yellow fog lamps/covers, so I may go that route if I don't add LED DRL to them.

I did add the lip. I had something flip up from the highway and gutted the guard that is usually under the front bumper and it made for a bit of an eye sore when you looked at the front end since you still saw where it clipped in. I ordered that off of Amazon. It's literally just a heavy duty foam/plastic that has really good 3M tape. Here's the link.

Pro tip: if you like being alive, or if you like your kids being alive - always drive with your headlights on and also get these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DKT0DO

But hardly anyone does either. Keep being you, lemmings.

I am 6' 3" and sit tall, so I ended up getting a mini with no sunroof for the extra headroom (more than in my Volkswagen Tiguan!). Leg room is great! Both for length and width (knee spacing).

If you don't want to lean forward at stop lights, which is something I had to do about half the time in my Tiguan too, you can get something like this: LightinSight

I got one for my mini, and it works great for me.

Can you find out the type of bulb it is.You are going to have to do some researching. Why not post a picture of the bulb or does it have markings? There should be a model number on the bulb. Once you have a model number check ebay and select USA only. You might have some luck. I am curious myself. I couldn't find anything after searching.

For the type being why not wire up a cheap handle bar clamp dual sport light or something like that. This one is prime so you can get it in a few days and get back on the road. Even a cheap replacement headlight would work.

I got this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RPBA606/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , which for $25 lacks the centering bracket, but I've had zero problems with it at all. Highly recommended, comfortable, cheap. I was excited to see this video, but the cost of the setup is obscene.

1200 miles or so was when mine felt like it settled in, but that was on the auto.

I ended up purchasing a grab handle for jeeps/off roading rigs. One of the best purchases I’ve made for my OW; it makes lugging it around more like a suitcase.

18's on a NA are about the equivalent of 26's on a Caprice.

The day after I bought my car, a hard top popped up for $750 about 2 hours away. It sold before I had time to check it out, and I haven't seen another below $1200.

Best bet for now, would probably be to just get a cheapo soft top to get you by until you come across a decent hard top.

I don't have this, but have seen people recommend it. Seems about the cheapest you are going to find with a preinstalled rain rail

Been wanting to do something similar using EZ Lip. Looks pretty good for the price!

Most of what you'd see in that price range is no-name Chinese steel bumpers such as EAutoGrills(EAG), Restyling Factory, etc. There's a ton of them on Amazon or Ebay. I have no particular complaints about them; the welds aren't the cleanest but they're typically as beefy as you'd want and hit the functionality for value mark.

You mentioned no preference on style, but I think you should make the decision to either protect the fenders or leave the open wheel look. Narrow it down from there.

Note that a steel bumper will add 55-80 pounds forward of your wheels, and a steel cable winch another 80 pounds. All that weight will definitely cause the front end to sag. A couple of pucks from a leveling kit helps, but the real fix for that is upgraded springs. Keep those in mind if you're thinking about the total price of a steel bumper and winch.

Just an EZ Lip, it has ripped several times though lol

I did something similar to this with the reverse lights on my truck. I just took shipping tape and sanded it with 550 grit. Then I put the sanded tape on and trimmed it to fit with an Xacto knife. It worked pretty good until the lights shitted out

This is the stuff used in GoPro mounts and you can find it at any auto parts store or Home Depot - maybe even Wal-Mart.
It held my GoPro onto the side of my bike doing 180 down the back straight of COTA so I would think it'll hold some LED strips on, plus it doesn't leave a nasty residue when you remove it with some rubbing alcohol and dental floss.

It is a handle that you put into a car door jamb to help get in and out of the car.

[I have these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054RW1HE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VC-yzb2SC6CTX) they work pretty well, but maybe a little small.

You should try something like this:

I think that might be something like is

Have you tried an aftermarket seal like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N1DXSH5

This, it's like tape. www.amazon.com/3M-03614-Scotch-Mount-Molding-Tape/dp/B002JOVUO0/ref=pd_sim_263_1open_in_new

If it's the touchless kind then yeah. I used this 3M adhesive to install them and it's insanely strong.

The car washes with big brushes would probably scratch the hell out of them just like they do to your paint. You really shouldn't use those things.

I have these, I like them pretty well. Adjustment can be a pain by yourself, but other than that...

I used the L bracket method along with some automotive body molding mounting tape. With the tape alone I was unable to pull the tables back apart.

Edit: Figured I should give links to the tape and brackets I used.

Tape

Brackets

You can get either of them at pretty much any hardware store, or auto parts store. Although they will be a bit more expensive.

Hey man! I've been eyeing one on Amazon, you can get the color matched to your car (like a Hellcat) or matte (like a scatty)

https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Factory-Hellcat-Spoiler-Painted/dp/B00ZFTGD8Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474663577&sr=8-1&keywords=hellcat+spoiler

Looks like this. https://www.amazon.com/3M-03614-Scotch-Mount-Molding-Tape/dp/B002JOVUO0

Can be bought at AutoZone too. Has a red backing but the tape is black

Specifically either of these should work fine:

http://www.amazon.com/3M-38583-Exterior-Attachment-Tape/dp/B00JR4D7AA/

http://www.amazon.com/3M-03614-Scotch-Mount-Molding-Tape/dp/B002JOVUO0/

Walmart usually carries both and any auto parts store too.

There are many avaialble on the market. The ones for Model S / X will fit on a model 3, but the break pedal is about a half inch wider. If I were to buy new aluminum pedals today, I would probably buy this one:

https://www.amazon.com/topfit-Non-Slip-Performance-Aluminum-Covers/dp/B07DFZMTN8?crid=1IRE8MOBUZQJH&keywords=topfit+model+3+pedals&qid=1540492562&sprefix=topfit+model+3+%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-1&ref=sr_1_1

Because it's specifically designed for the Model 3.

$17 Amazon special.

I noticed this one is lifting a bit on the inside, I may need to redo them.

My first thought (although a somewhat off-label use) would be 3m VHB trim and molding tape like this: https://www.amazon.com/3M-3614-15/dp/B002JOVUO0. As long as both surfaces are perfectly clean (as in wipe them down with alcohol before applying), I'd be shocked if it didn't hold up as least as well as whatever the holder came with. It's fairly ridiculous stuff.

I'd go with something like that being somewhat flexible over an epoxy of any sort, the flexibility might help it last longer. I would bet that 3M 5200 would work as well (it's a marine adhesive sealant) but it'd be more of a PITA to work with than the VHB tape.

3M body moulding adhesive. Just plan on setting aside plenty of time if you ever want to remove the lightstrip.

This is the one I got from Amazon. Not sure how the OEM spoiler is shaped on the underside as mine is a different aftermarket spoiler, but this size should work for you. There are videos on YouTube you can check out for prepping and tips on applying it.

First of all RGB LEDs are three colors that you can mix to produce most colors. If you just want white light you don't want RGB LEDS.

I bought one of these as a headlight but other come in just about any size you need. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G620ZVU

What if it is not? It could be a spotlight and look almost the same.

Best tape for the job

It's one of these.

This should work. Beware it has a little thickness to it. Might be a bit overkill

this is what you need https://www.amazon.com/Emson-9663-Cane-Portable-Handle/dp/B00ZGGVNCC

Works wonders assuming the Model 3 has a door latch in the right spot.

Has anyone tried this thing?

Not sure how to post a pic for you (currently at work and on mobile) but the lights are these: https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-Driving-Mounting-Bracket-Warranty/dp/B00G620ZVU

I believe the noise is created when the reverse lockout ring makes contact with the inside of the shift knob. I took off my shift knob and placed some foam tape on the inside of it to absorb the vibration and I have no more noise.

This is what I used.

Oh, that thing. Use some 3M automotive trim tape to stick it back on. Glue is not going to work well and make a mess of your frame.

Cammer here: here's a pic of the mount I used.

Here are the lights, not street legal probably. I usually only use them on back roads at night when there are no cars in front of me.

The wind noise and the reverse camera delay are my two biggest complaints. Reverse camera delay is software related so that will likely get fixed in the coming months.

I have purchased both this basenor wind reduction kit and this wind guard which seem to help a little but I think most of the noise is coming through the front windshield somehow.

3M. Do NOT use super glue!!!

This tape will work too. Also available in 1/2 inch. Follow the instructions to the letter.

Us poor people use a stick on mirror.
