If you post, try to post a link to the mod itself and I'll be sure to add it to the list. My buddy has a Bronco and frequents their boards but they don't have anything like this; whenever he does anything to his truck for under $100, he says, "Look, I did a <$100 mod!" Poor Ford owners.

or <$100 Mods? ;)

Fixed it.

Any link for this one? My wife would love it!

Sorry for the incorrect "greater than," after 1AM my brain starts to go all mushy.

If you guys provide links to threads/how tos/lockers, I'll try to update the first post to keep it all together.

Alternator Upgrade is a DOWN grade, and a bad, bad, bad.

N.B. Please read data include in other post headed ----100$ or less mods.

Trevor, could you explain why this is?

I have been hauled over the coals for using excessive band width. :lol:

As instructed please read my the other post in Technical --- http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41253 (i.e. Nearly the last post in --- 100$ or less mods.) for full details. ;)

Added Let it Snow's hood strut replacement. Anyone have a link to the heater vent thing?

How bout modding the 91-96 grille. Maby light tint. There was a thread on here but I cant find it. They said that it only looked tinted at certain angles. Or maby lighting it up.

Anyone know where to buy the #235 Brass Insert manufactured by Hillman online? Because I've looked all over the hardware stores here and can't find the darn peice.
I've tried the other methods of fixing our visors suggested and they don't work. The internals of my visor is also slighty different that the ones shown in the "how to" pictures. Once I find a method which works for my visors, I will post pictures. I think this hillman insert might work but I can't find it to begin to try. lol

I found it at County stores, a local hardware store. I could not find it online, and I looked extensively.

I also had this mod accomplish one and only thing - destroy my sunvisor. It did NOT fix the drooping, and instead it made it very dirty (alot of the work has to be done on the visor or with the visor, you have dirty hands, and you inadvertently get it dirty) and it has a huge cut in the back of it from opening it up to get at the "innards" to repair it. The internals of my visor were also slightly different, but using the same principles, I attempted to repair it. My recommendation is to just buy new visors.

Just a word of caution.

What about masking the visor with painters tape?
