Default Blue LEDS

Got tired of the white stock buttons and such, went all blue for the interior lights, switches, buttons.

Attempted to install a Yellowbox V4 with a simple plug-n-play harness, couldn't find any place to run the harness wire into the cabin, gave up and pretty much think that other than an exhaust system and new leather for my seats I am done modifying my SC from this point on.

Default replaced Red Solo Cupholder

If you havent noticed the cupholder leaves a lot to be desired. When you go thru a drive thru they give you this cup that wont fit your cup holder.---- Solution---- Insert a red solo cup in the cupholder. It fits snug and i believe you can even insert a route66 drink from Sonic without spilling it. Takes curves too!!!! Downside is it will crack eventually but there are always red solo cups to be had..........

Funny...But it would work.... Better solution, only drink bottled water or Starbucks and all fits!
