20 - Little Things

 I added red reflectors to all four doors.

  I added a 2-inch convex spot mirror on each side to help check each side of the car.

  I painted the lettering on my valve cover. The Toyota emblem is painted in silver, and inside the emblem is Stingray Metallic (my car's body color).

  I put some black carpet on the package shelf to keep my Kleenex box in place. The carpet helps to quiet rattles.

  I put a Scion logo in the photo window of the overhead console.

  I made a bracket out of sheet metal to hang my Motorola Bluetooth speaker on my overhead console.

When I was rear ended, the body shop told me they would have to order a new "xB" hatch emblem since they couldn't salvage the old one (evidently they don't know the dental floss trick) so I asked them for the old broken hatch emblem. 

I took it home, glued it back together, then using epoxy I glued some threaded studs onto the back side. I cut down some fender washers and spray painted them flat black.

I used nylon lock nuts (shown at right) to secure the emblem into my front grill.
