First Thing To Customize?

" I work with leather everyday so for sure that won't be going in there. Most likely be a durable and more comfortable fabric."

What kind of material would you actually use? Since I live here in hot humid Florida I thought leather would be a good choice. Do you have any suggestions?

If lights on the fenders are not standard, then that would be it. Lets oncoming drivers at night see the actual width of the car.

I have to be careful of my budget but I would like to have something on my Elio in addition to reflective tape for safety. Why? So if someone "borrows" my Elio without permission, I can say it has . . . . . . . that makes it stand out in a crowd. Z

Z, with your creativity, you'll surely come up with a good way to modify that Elio of yours. I had, at one time, some reflective tape that was about 4" wide. It was black reflective tape... I know, laugh... But, it reflected a quite bright greyish if I remember correctly while remaining black during the day. It could be used to do just about anything. Further, I'm sure you could get pin-striping reflective tape and go to town with designs.

In your climate leather would be fine except when it's parked and the sun is hitting it and you get in with shorts and tank...hot on skin. In my climate leather is too cold and stiff in the winter. If you look at a lot of the newer cars they have an open weave almost burlap type of fabric that's breathable yet very durable. Just my opinion of course.

Toss up depending on my preferred tint shop's schedule when I actually get the elio. It will either be window tint or mounting a holster for my pistol. Generally both of the above are done within 7 days of acquiring each new vehicle.

I'll probably just tint my own. It should cost about $9.95 to do the whole thing. Plus, it's easy enough to do without getting any bubbles in there. (Some people have horrible tint and I think they must not be able to read directions). I keep my pistol on me. But, having a decent place to put it in the car on a long trip might be nice.

I believe they would be the most installed fender lighting accessory.

Don't drive angry.
