So far the only mods I've done have been ecodes and installing the factory CD changer, mud flaps, and "chrome" wheel arches. For whatever reason I kind of want to keep my SDL stock. I'm mod happy on my VWs so I guess it balances out.
Though, if I came across the parts to install SLS or the hydropenumaic suspension at the right price....... And I wouldn't mind the fanfare horns or rear roller blind either.... -Jason

A special award goes out to the 8-ball shifter, and Jimmy's cup holders are voted most likely to be replicated. Hubcaps on all w123 look great, and if you can get the non steel rims to go with them all the more power to you. More applicants are encouraged to submit modifications, and thank you to all that have successfully applied!
Please recall the first post, folks--- Quote:

Flames.
Oh, yeah. Don't forget the flame job on the '79. It does have a blacked-out grill AND headlamp doors, to boot. I'll get a pic....
