You can upgrade your interior lights to led's? Including hvac controls, gauge cluster, map lights, dome lights etc.

Brushguard? Bull bar? bumper lights? upgrade sound system? Spare tire carrier on the back? Upgrade tow hooks to tahoe tow hooks? cb radio and antenna? I'll think of some other stuff a little bit later probably.

thanks for the ideas ive seen people put the blue overhead lights and blue underdash lights in where would i get those? as for the bumper and brushgaurd thing when i got in a crash it destroyed my bumper mounts so now ive already got a 20 foot stick of tubing and im gona make a tube bumper with a small stinger on it. im thinking about getting the tow hooks ive seen that one and its a pretty good cheap upgrade. ill be putting 2 hid lights on my front bumper so i kinda wanted to match it with my headlights. any suggestions on hid's? and i just took off my spare tire carrier and am shaving the holes after christmas break is out. now i got to find something to do with that lol.
again thanks for the reply.

I wonder how hard it would be to get the t-bar out off a zr2 at the yard. I also have a zr2 at the local yard near me, but the fender flares are all crap. It still have the t-bar, didn't check for it really last time.
