I was going to post something about how its the same as when people ask how to take an OTA on xda-developers. (If you get that, then you and I share an interest.) The "why are you here angle" so to speak. But really, this is a great place for info on maintaining your car and fixing little problems yourself. Tires, brand of oil, windshield plastic trim rattle, width of the cargo net, etc. etc.

But, to answer your question, I really haven't done much on this car. I put LED interior lights in for better brightness (I got old eyeballs). I'll probably do sway bars at some point. Maybe even the apparently controversial smart phone mount. I kind of burned out on hard core mods on my Subaru. So why? Let's see. Brighter light in a color temperature that is more appropriate for a machine made of silver and black plastic and metal. Better handling at the expense of some stability...just a different choice than the factory made trying to suit all comers. And a place to put my phone so I can see waze if I am in an area where the stock navigation is out of date (part of life living in an area that is growing).

I don't mean to hi-jack the thread...but....when speaking of upgrading the sways, you mentioned: 'At the expense of some stability'? How so?

Oh - and yeah....the maps on my '12 are out of date...probably as soon as I got the car - and definitely as soon as they finished 114. The roads are changing way too much around DFW. I do wish they had a better/more convenient way of keeping the maps updated...
