    Minivan upgrades

    Well, I got in on the $130 package deal on Black Friday at Best Buy... I saw the Dual package last year (with the lower power handling subs, the red ones) and didn't bite.... especially after my friend got the same package a few months ago and it had reeeally weak bass. So I saw they had one package left, so I asked the car audio guy if I could hear the display model, and I was sold instantly. I'm not a big fan of bandpass, but it will do for now. Adequately loud




    So now...

    Racing Seat covers - $9.95 clearance





    Gaudy Aluminum Spoiler - $49 + s/h



    I'm half kidding by the way... I don't think I'd ever put seat covers or a spoiler on a silver 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan, but maybe just to try to be obnoxious and for something for other people to laugh at (seeing a civic with this stuff vs. a van is a different kind of laugh )

    Here's a pic of my car by the way:



    Laugh away!
    And closer...

    Unfortunately I have 16" alloy wheels, so I can't put the cheap fake-spinner wheel covers from Wal-Mart

    you should get the spinners, and duct tape them to your wheel so they can't spin.

    The spoiler would let everyone know that the 3.3L engine (top of the line for 96 might I mention) can really make it move.

    It's sad that I would want to replace the alloy wheels for standard with hubcaps


    Also, I'm thinking about black racing stripes. Vinyl's not that expensive, is it? Otherwise I'll use black duct tape.

    I took out the 2 middle chairs and the farthest bench is in. A keg fits nicely in the middle with the subs/box

    I bought a '92 3.0 Grand Caravan with 75K miles on it on Black Friday for well under a grand. Needs some minor work, but I hope to turn it and make a few bucks...

    I'll take your 16" alloys and trade you some 15" steelies so you can run your spinners if you'd like.
