    Out of all the stuff I've done I'd say the steps and the only thing I don't like about them is they rusted - if I had it to do over I'd spend the extra $$ and get SS. Looking forward 2 C'ing what others post.

    Clazzio seat covers, and the KB Voodoo outboard bike mount. Should have went Katzkins, and as far as the outboard bike mount I should have waited until the fitment kinks were worked out.

    K&N CAI on my first gen. Caused a CEL right after install and I always worried about it letting sand through the intake (even with an outerwear) when I was in Glamis. Liked the sound but I wouldn't do it again.
