Reddit mentions: The best automotive trim

Really, the only thing I recommend you have on hand at the delivery is the screen protector. I bought this one and have been happy with it.

You probably also want to have some sort of USB storage device for your dashcam/sentry mode. This could be a USB thumbdrive, SSD, Harddrive, or SD card (with adapter). As long as it has a decent amount of memory and a decent read/write speed and is USB. You'll need to format it FAT32 for the car to recognize it.

As for other accessories, most people on here choose to wrap their center consoles. It comes with a piano black finish which looks really nice but scratches and shows fingerprints really easily. I suggest the Kenriko center console wraps. They have tons of colors/finishes from matte black to white, to carbon fiber.

After that it is up to you. There are TONs of products that you can use to modify your Model 3. Personal favorites of mine so far are the extra door seals that keep out dirt and slightly reduce wind noise. The aluminum pedals are a really nice touch if you don't have a performance model. All-weather floor mats are really nice. I have the 3D MaxSpider ones but I've heard really good things about the Tuxmats. The wireless chargers for your phone are a good accessory as well.

Common upgrades:

• buy or make some push sticks
  
• zero clearance insert for safety and improve cut quality
  
• on/off paddle switch for safety, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-D4151-220-Volt-Paddle-Switch/dp/B005W17FRS
  
• thin kerf blade(s). i like switching between diablo 24T rip blade for ripping, and diablo 50T combo blade for everything else. the thin kerf helps cut through harder woods with our so-so 1hp motor.
  
• i don't know if you have a miter gauge, but if not they are useful. or better yet build a cross-cut sled
  
• your crank handles look to be in good shape, but if you need to replace you can get aluminum for about the same price as plastic: https://imgur.com/a/M33dCdU. available from ebay seller or1more.
  
• (typically later because $$$) a biesemeyer fence, like a delta t3. these are pricey but your best upgrade as the stock fences are pretty bad.
  
  
  EDIT: formatting

Oh yeah the sound system is great in these cars Fender did a good job. Yep just like the GTI badge. I was really glad to see they added that and the red lipstick to the new models. Finally showing the GLI a little love, now if we could just get a sport model like the GTI. If you were interested in adding the lipstick I did it myself on my 13 with just some red vinyl racing stripe tape like this. Here's a pic of how it came out sorry it's a little dark but the best I could find.

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rust-on-frame-with-a-c-drain-mod-fix.444138/#post-12942289

Do this as soon as you can. The a.c. puts out a lot of water, so keeping it off the frame to avoid rusting for a few dollars is something everyone should do.

Toyota Tacoma Center Console Organizer (2016 - Present) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016ZB4VZC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_yMJH8ohGfbLuX just got this in an it's already such a useful addition.

Husky makes a great pair of floor liners (not just floor mats) really keeps your floors in perfect condition.

Other add ons include in channel window deflectors if they interest you, and a bed mat.

I've had mine since 8/30 and love it. Over 550 miles on it already lol. Done the first three already. Will be holding off for a while on other changes.

Get a Euro switch, allows you more options for running lights and headlights and is superior. Easy to install, too.

I have one of these and I love it, combined with blindspot mirrors on your outside rear views, it makes for a much safer driving experience. And looks neat.

And yeah, vinyl wrapping the brushed aluminum.

Total cost: $31.70

Time: ~30 minutes.
Tools required: Hand drill

Now that it gets dark so damn early, I've been using my headlights a lot more, and I noticed that they weren't as bright as they used to be. So, on the advice of a coworker, I picked up THIS headlight restoration kit from amazon, as well as THIS sealer and THIS masking tape (to protect the paint around the lens). The directions were clear and concise and the whole process took about 30 minutes and was extremely easy. It comes with an attachment for your hand drill to which a variety of sanding/buffing discs mount. You start with a coarse grit sandpaper disc to remove the oxidation and then you use progressively finer grit discs to smooth out the surface. Finally you buff and seal the lens.

I couldn't be happier with the results. The lenses look brand new and there are enough sanding discs left over to do at least one or two more cars.

My tips would be to try driving a smaller or a more compact car. I find they have a better turning radius, thus are much easier to parallel park, getting into tight corners, navigating through tight spaces, etc. Also try replacing your rear view mirror with a wider one like one of these: Fit System RM011 Clip-on Wide Angle Rear View Mirror https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001A0J2JO/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_hYf-wbBME5VY5

I use this particular 18 inch mirror that just clips on to your existing mirror. This gives you a much bigger field of vision of what's behind you when your driving, and you can see your blindspots and everything! It just feels much more safer, thus making you feel more confident when driving..

Having a backup camera can help you alot too. I mainly use mine for parallel parking because it's sometimes hard to judge the distance between the back of my car and the front of the car behind me.

You can also try investing in brighter LED headlights for your car if you don't have them already. Or turn on your fog lights as well. I know, driving at night can be dangerous especially when it's hard to read the road signs or see the street lines, especially if your not familiar with the roads. Just remember, if its really hard to see at night and there are no cars around you, feel free to use your high beams! That's what they are there for. Just make sure you don't have them on if there is a car coming in front of you because you can seriously blind the hell out of them lol. I deliver food as part of my job so I am always driving and exploring new areas, driving at night is always much harder..

You can always go the ghetto route and use an old tube, but I'd recommend clear helicopter tape. Don't bother with bike specific tape, it's a huge ripoff. Buy this: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003BZO05C
This is what I use for all my bikes and it works really well. A 30 ft. roll is plenty to protect multiple bikes; you won't be fucked if you mess up because you'll probably have another 25 ft. of tape left. Also, buy a small squeegee and a spray bottle if you don't have these already. It will make applying the tape a breeze.

Hey! Just picked up my Model 3 this week and I've purchased the following, all of which I highly recommend:

1. Road Comforts Tesla Model 3 Custom Fit Floor Mats - $79.99 (Premium look, perfect fit, incredible value. So happy with them.)
   
2. Carbon Fiber Center Console Wrap - $29.99 (Same company does a matte black one.)
   
3. Tempered Glass Screen Protector - $14.98
   
4. 15W Wireless Charger - $49.99 (Needed the extra charging power.)
   
5. Dead Pedal Cover - $15.99 (Looks so good! It does not have any sort of logo on it, despite the preview image.)
   
6. Aluminum Pedals- $16.99 (Difficult to get on, but they stay on and look great.)
   
7. Center Console Organizer- $8.99 (Convenient for change, prox cards, and sunglasses.)
   
8. Rear Door Sills- $14.99 (Completely unnecessary, but I like them.)

Yes, great trick.

ProTip: Heat up sticky with lighter WITH red covering on, then peel it off and stick to clean surfaces. This prevents all the black chemicals from being on the avtual adhesive which could diminish the effectiveness. Also dont overheat it.

If doing on cars with decals, or nice paint jobs use some helicopter tape between sticky and surface. But its pricey. https://www.amazon.com/Allstar-Performance-ALL14275-Clear-Surface/dp/B003BZO05C?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

I dont use it on my shoei 600$ helmet but have on many cars with decals and vinyl logos and such.

Good luck.

I have speakers that are not quite that big, but still large, taped to my toolbox at work. I use the 3M Automotive Tape since we have tons of it on hand. It's double-sided foam tape and it's super sticky. Also how I had my license plate mounted to my car for a while there.

They've held up so far, and I'm sure in a climate controlled bedroom, the tape would last much longer. I wouldn't worry about them falling off, unless you had massive home theater speakers on there...

3M auto tape has a double back adhesive and is pretty resilient to most operating temperatures. Best to apply on a clean surface during a warm day or blow dry it in place.

Hey, glad you liked it. I used this. Was super cheap and very easy to put in place. You'll need a steady hand and some patience but overall it's not too hard. If you check my other submissions here, you'll see I did the front bumper, side fender badges, and mirrors with this same tape. Just take your time, use wax / grease remover, and clean the area with isopropyl alcohol before laying it down.

I love those cup holders and have the same ones. Definitely worth getting! Here is the link to those if anyone is interested:

I decided to go with the EV wraps console wrap due it having a clear support backing around the cup holders. Installation was a breeze. Quality seems great as well.

Annnnnnnnnnd I'm just now seeing you were talking about the 2nd Gen...

I beg to differ... for $30 this is one of the cheapest mods I have done and was very quick and easy to install. Forget about noise dampening for a moment. The doors sound much more solid during close and give a nice sort of pop when opening. Door sill will stay nice and clean. I bought this kit during a sale: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07R13DYYY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3K5hDbEZK2Q8X

Go to Amazon and order this (I like Meg's products),

• Harbor Freight DA
  
  
• Meg's Endurance Tire Gel
  
  
• Meg's Ultimate Protectant
  
  
• Meg's Ultimate Liquid Wax
  
  
• Meg's APC
  
  
• Rag Company's Borderless Blonde
  
  
• Rag Company's Waffle Weave
  
  
• Hex Logic White Pad (3)
  
  
• Hex Logic Orange Pad (2)
  
  
• Hex Logic Red Pad (2)
  
  
• M105
  
  
• M205
  
  
• 3M Auto Tape
  
  
• Mother's Wheel Brush
  
  
• ABN Woolies
  
  
• Trim Brush
  
  
• Chem Guys Wash Mitt (2)
  
  
• Mother's Clay Bar Kit
  
  This should run you about $345 for everything and have you setup to take care of your car for a long time. You can find a 20% discount code online for harbor freight to bring the price down $55 for the DA. Go to home depot and buy a couple buckets and you will be good to go.
  
  Edit: To add, I went to Lowes and bought a cheap inline sprayer for my hose and it works fine for foaming up the vehicle, plus it only costs $5.
  
  Edit2: If you are going to downvote me please post why you don't like my recommendation.

Here's a link, you can get it in pretty much any width you want, so look at something like a ruler to get an idea of what you'd like. I would also make sure you have a sharp razor/cutting implement to give a clean cut end.

Pin Stripe Tape

I used these.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CEKUO1O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My BIL is super good at drawing/tracing stuff and he loved the idea. I bribed him to do it and he spent the morning cutting, test-fitting, and applying them.

I like this one even better:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P2WT6B4

Has a slot that perfectly fits the J1772 adapter.

First of all, nice job swapping IRS in to your '96

> I've had my Mustang long enough to see it go from "Oh my god, I can't see out of this thing!" to "Oh my god, it's so open and airy in here!"

I felt the same way initially with my Mustang, but then I installed this wide mirror. Works wonders on rearview visibility (just make sure to strengthen your rearview mirror's balljoint - it's a heavy mirror):


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001A0J2JO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you’re using the j1772 frequently, this center console organizer is great and fits the included adapter perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P2WT6B4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. The coin holder part is removable.

Hmm interesting concept. I could probably achieve something similar via different means.

For me I used hockey tape (nice matte black fabric like tape) and taped my Razer Firefly wire to itself, and ran it and my mouse cable (with some slack for movement) under my keyboard, then taped all 3 together and ran it to the back of my desk under my sound bar so it "looks" like only a single large cable going to the back of the desk.

Underneath I have a surge protector and a usb hub stuck with double-sided 3M automotive adhesive (I use this stuff for everything). and then these in expensive adhesive J-channel cable race for wires.

I also got rid of my center support leg in exchange for a heavy duty shelf bracket.

Ah well there you go! I would think even if you had the legal colors it would make you more of a target for cops though. I personally like the stealth route since uh, yeah I am probably always speeding a bit.

If you want increase visibility, they make reflective tape that you can add to the back of your helmet, jacket, bike, etc.. Comes in black so if you have a black helmet it just blends in. I noticed that once I added a few big pieces to the back/sides of my helmet cars hung way further back from me at night.

Edit: this is the stuff I have:

https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Reflective-Scotchlite-ME-RK-99/dp/B00CEKUO1O

I like the dmm from taco garage. It’s sleek and not crazy expensive plus it puts my phone in the perfect spot.

Also this organizer for the center console. . Totally worth the $20 or so dollar for the insert and the dividers.

Got it a few weeks ago, pretty great

> The center console on the 3 is shiny and weird. It definitely can scratch easily as people have mentioned. I need to get that wrapped as well.

I used this product. It went on easier than I expected.

Yeah, thanks for confirming. I've heard that before... I have a friend who has never shut his down (for many years). I guess they're made to run all the time. I planned on putting one of these on the right side of my lathe mounted to the lathe itself: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005W17FRS/ref=s9u_simh_gw_i1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R13DYYY/

Two of the bags had the names swapped. So that was fun. But they come with a qr code for each step which links to a youtube video. 1st step took 20 min. The rest was done in 10. So 30 min to figure it out and install. Mine might just be better then the rest. I don't know. Just sick of seeing the.

This mirror is excellent, and it takes 30 seconds to install. Unless there's some crazy feature you actually want out of that OEM mirror, the Broadview will be better.

Just make sure you measure the distance between your visors and pick a length that will fit between them, otherwise you won't be able to lower the visors.

Thank you! I often stare at that ass also when I walk away

I love the eyesight, it's something I didn't think I would need, but after having it, I can't live without it. I use it frequently on the freeway. Only caution I would throw in is if you know there's traffic, don't rely on eyesight's breaking, because it sometimes catches completely stopped traffic a tad late, and breaks really hard. When it accelerates, it tends to accelerate pretty hard too.
I typically throw on the adaptive cruise control and lane guard and cruise on the freeway.

I bought this tape for the red trims.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029XBBE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I taped it along the grooves in the back, turned out better than I expected!

Trimbrite T1118 1/8 Pinstripe Tape Red https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00029XB1Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_o8M0BbA9GEJ5B

With patience and a steady hand, it can turn out amazing.

Alternatively, you can get something like this. For me, it covers my blindspots perfectly:

http://www.amazon.com/Broadway-BW849-Type-A-Convex-Mirror/dp/B0040E1HJA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1397021065&sr=8-3&keywords=broadway+mirror+convex

I don't remember if it's a 360mm or a 400mm, but it's a convex Broadway mirror that I bought from Super Autobacs a few years ago. I found a vendor on Amazon for ya!

I was concerned about that too since I love listening to music and appreciate the quiet cabin. It’s a bit louder than the aeros but I haven’t found it to be annoying. I also bought this kit to get back some of the quiet and it made a little difference but still not as quiet as the aeros:

https://www.amazon.com/BASENOR-Soundproof-Rubber-Weather-Reduction/dp/B07R13DYYY/ref=gwm_tlc_pi?pf_rd_s=blackjack-personal-1&pf_rd_t=Gateway&pf_rd_i=mobile&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=VEKTZVMWME85X2TEAQ0W&pf_rd_p=1dfcfc84-3ad7-4be1-8cf4-d1dd1de5a0dc&pd_rd_i=B07R13DYYY

It’s very dependent on the road. If you do 85 miles an hour (typical Bay Area fast lane), and the road isn’t great it will be noticeable.

I totally agree with you on the storage, I went this route (Catch Caddy 100-CC-MC24 Car Seat Catcher, Organizer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0182QDLFE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ilkxyb2S8TQME) on my 16 First with Recaros. Seems to work pretty well for phone and other small items, and keeping junk from falling down into the void. You can only really use the front portion however.

Not sure if yours came with them but any kind of weather tech or husky floor mats are a lifesaver! Also for center console organizer I got the vehicle OCD organizer.


https://www.amazon.com/Vehicle-OCD-Console-Organizer-2016-2019/dp/B016ZB4VZC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=tacoma+vehicle+ocd&qid=1570796409&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzNTJIRkZMSEI1RzA5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTc5MDg1MVhKTEtHOVRZWjJSMiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDMzODk4MVVLR0tBQkhEWUhYUiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

If you want an easy way to increase your situational awareness, spend $9 on a clip-on wide-angle mirror.

If you want to be more hardcore, spend $19 on a 5-panel mirror, which doesn't distort distances.

This is the one I got, pretty easy to find using some search words:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GR9P9Q/

I have these. They work nice and are pretty cheap. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0182QDLFE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_phY4xbHVSYCM8

I bought this little thing off of Amazon for my 2016. It works fantastic for my coin needs! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074GR9P9Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Got bored earlier today and was looking for the same thing. Found these liners on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Custom-Console-Liner-Acessories-Subaru/dp/B07MZ9TCYP) and they are pretty cheap and get good reviews. I ordered the red to match the stitching so it'll add a little color to the interior.

Mine was messed up when I purchased my unisaw. I'm pretty elecricaly savvy, and after looking into all the parts I needed, contactors, relays, flux capacitors, etc. I just canned it in favor of one of these

Simple, cheap and it works well. You just have to remember, if the power goes out, don't sit on the blade until the power comes back on--or just hit the off switch.

Order the tray and the organizer at the same time and save 20%. I have both, worth every penny!

I got this one because it had a cutout for the J1772 charging adapter, which I use a lot to charge at home on my JuiceBox. Love it so far.

Here's a 11.75-inch version.

Here's the 17.75 inch version.

They'll take some getting used to, but once you do, you can see infinitely more behind you and to your left and right. I credit these mirrors with saving my life more than 10 actual times in all weather conditions. I won't drive any car without one now.

I can be your hero baby.

Although the red shade is a bit lighter than the red GTI strip.

I've seen some people recommend this one as well in the mk7owners forum:

If you dont care about the safety feature of a mag switch then you can go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005W17FRS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have one on my Unisaw. Its still wired into the original mag starter but since its an on-off switch and not a momentary button (like it originally had), the safety feature is rendered useless. Didn't bother me personally

I really like the insert I got for my center console.
Got it on Amazon for $13

Also these are awesome. They clip over your normal rear view mirror and allow you to see a far bigger angle, minimizing or eliminating blind spots.

Thanks! Added myself using this.

Had the shop that did my tint wrap it. Was going for this look: https://www.amazon.com/EV-Wraps-Tesla-Center-Console/dp/B07FZCPNR8/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=ev+wraps+tesla+model+3+center+console+wrap&qid=1564359292&s=automotive&sr=1-5

Thought about wrapping myself but since I was getting the tint done I decided to have them do it as well.

1/8 in. 1/4 in. red pinstripe from Amazon. I may redo it. Two lessons I learned:

1. wait until it's warmer or heat a bit with a hairdryer to work around the corners. It broke and I lapped the new piece a bit. From up close, I can tell.
   
2. take a really sharp utility knife and trim the edge all along the grille. The pinstripe is slightly wider than the lip on which you're applying it and trimming it flush made it look a lot better.
   
   Might be better buying the pre-cut stripe from FT86SF, but all in all the red chin and the side markers took less than half an hour.
   
   Edit: Apparently it was 1/4 in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029XBBE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Comes in different widths and lengths. It's similar to putting a screen protector on your cell phone and will resist dents/marks/etc. I currently have it on my downtube, chain/seatstays, and a few other places to keep the frame protected.

One thing you didn't mention that might be worth considering is one of those big, police style rear view mirrors:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001A0J2JO/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687622&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0015FYQ90&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1B3CNP4PMY6P8XDX2YQE

I've not tested one of these but it sounds worth at least considering given the circumstances you describe.

Apologies for the late reply! I'd use something like this.

I view the paint as the protector for the frame. But, if you're interested in protecting that, too, put helicopter tape over the paint.

This is the type of stuff you want. It needs proper prep and cleaning to stick right though.

It is probably custom order. Odds are that molecule is a major part of that guy's research.

Edit: On second thought, they are probably just a mix of This tape and letters like these.

It's just 4-inch red automotive pinstriping. I got it at my local O'Reilly Auto Parts for like $4.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00029XBBE/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1502113381&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=trimbrite&dpPl=1&dpID=51gv6EF%2BViL&ref=plSrch

I have something like a plastic bin that goes there, catches stuff and acts as extra storage.

That happened when we put that rubber stopper up there. Didn't help the noise. But know that apparently water doesn't get in there either as told to is by Tesla service. But what did help actually was putting rubber around the door using this kit. It's unnoticeable since ours is black/black. And doesn't look discombobulated when you open your doors.

Thanks! Here's what I used:

Trimbrite T1118 1/8 Pinstripe Tape Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00029XB1Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cjtIxbZ3CV402

The corners might not look perfect up close but it works for me!

Broadway BW849 360mm Type-A Convex Mirror https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0040E1HJA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vc3sDb1ATQQAJ I have this in my FJ and my race car. Works well.

Could it possibly be the brand of pin striping as well?

Here is what I used Incase it differs:

There's an example. It's nice, especially in full speed traffic on the freeway and you're worried the asshole in front of you is going to brake check you the moment you turn your head.

Specifically either of these should work fine:

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

Walmart usually carries both and any auto parts store too.

I've had these in my car for a while now and it's always interesting to pull them out and see what kind of treasures i've lost since the last time i checked.

If I remember correctly I just bought red pinstripe tape off amazon.

EDIT: This, http://www.amazon.com/Trimbrite-T1118-Pinstripe-Tape-Red/dp/B00029XB1Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405101727&sr=8-2&keywords=pinstripe+tape

Just got a roll of the tape off amazon and laid down on the concrete and slapped it on there myself.

This stuff off of Amazon.

It looks like with a bit of cleaning and replacing the start stop button with a new start/stop paddle switch you will be all set.


The replacement switch is cheap too: $17 http://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-D4151-220-Volt-Paddle-Switch/dp/B005W17FRS

Something along these lines

I use polyurethane tape. Not a lot of protection against bashing but I just ride XC so need light protection.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003BZO05C/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Most people just put it on their chain stays and areas that may get a lot of rub.


I'm clumsy and kept accidently hitting the bike with the tools and every time it'd chip

emergency stop

Not really a mod, but the first thing I bought was a Vehicle OCD tray that fits in the center console and makes it a little more functional instead of a massive endless void, along with some console dividers. It's the little things!

Also got a Toyota logo hitch plug and WeatherTech mats for the front and back seats.

I recommend getting a wide angle rear view mirror. It's physically about twice as wide as a standard mirror, and it lets you see out of your side windows through your central mirror. The remaining blind spots are very small.

e.g.

https://www.amazon.com/Fit-System-RM011-Clip-Mirror/dp/B001A0J2JO/

Not usually.

In NY state I have a restriction on my drivers license that says I have to be wearing my hearing aides or have a full length rear-view mirror (or blind-spot mirror).

When I first started driving I had one. I used to get reminded of it all the time because passengers would not realize and hit their head on it while getting in to my hatchback. It's really not a bad thing to have regardless of hearing impairment or not, you can see everything behind you.

All my cars did this. Unfortunately for you and me, its most noticeable on white cars mostly as the dirt blends into darker colors.

I installed these on mine and it does help quite a bit with the dirt. amazon.com/BASENOR-Soundproof-Rubber-Weather-Reduction/dp/B07R13DYYY. Side effect is you now have to close the doors with a little more force, especially the back ones.

You could add the red strip to the lower front face and the back ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029XBBE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). It does look a lot sportier. You can also plasti dip all the chrome. Those are the only way I can think of not involving a louder exhaust.

Edit: sorry for the long ass link but here ya go

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.

Try these! They really work! I got them for my wife's car because she used to drop her phone down there all the time.

3M. Do NOT use super glue!!!

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

I'd hate to have a saw start spinning if I leaned over the table and hit the pedal accidentally, or at any point really.

I use a paddle switch like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-D4160-110-Volt-Paddle-Switch/dp/B005W17HYY

I'd advise against using those screws since they are there specifically to tension the cooler against the GPU itself. Overtightening them could cause the silicon GPU die to chip or fracture.

Many people making acrylic backplates simply use a two-sided adhesive tape to stick it on. You only need to keep it from sliding off, it doesn't need much. The Automotive 3m tape works especially well.
