It fit much better into her car.
Well I like it so I can convert back to the stock look when I need to and it doesn't
interfere with the passenger seat.

we're forgetting about some simple tools that could save your *** in case of an emergency:


to cut those heater hoses/vacuum lines/oil lines.



for multiple uses, the only thing better is duct tape for quick fixes.



to temporarily plug a vacuum port on the side of the road.


to temporarily hold your bumpers and other parts when they have fallen due to snow

and last but not least:

for all the other uses, such as fixing that lumpy idle at a stop light, or tightening up those heater/rad. hoses.
