Comments: Very straightforward. Push the sides of your glovebox inwards to pass the rubber stoppers on each side. A string extension will support the door while you work. Flip open the 3 plastic tabs you see behind the glovebox area and open the filter door. Slide the old filter out and slide the new one in the same way.

Product: Multi-Color LED Strip Lights
Manufacturer: Street Glow
Product Rating: 9/10
Purchase Date: 0-00-00
Purchase Price: CA$56.49
Purchased From: Walmart
Purchase Rating: 0/10
Description: Package included two strips of LEDs with an adhesive controller to change the color. Around 8 different solid colors, plus a neat fade setting where it slowly changes colors at whatever speed you want to set it at.
Impress the ladies and set it to the beat of the music! :P Great party-in-the-car feel running these puppies at night.
One potential drawback: I've noticed some colors are bright enough to be distracting while driving at night, so I keep it set on the deeper hues. Also, depending on where you put them, they can reflect on certain areas of your side windows, making it a little more difficult to see out at night.

Installation Rating: 7/10
Comments: A little finicky running the wires around, but I was able to hide them all with my lights installed under bottom lip of the dash lighting up the floor/pedal area (footwells) on both driver and passenger sides. Requires you to pull some plastics off in the console area to hook them up to your lighter jacks.

Description: Sparco universal summer floor mats. Full set of 4. Come in a small selection of colors.
Install Date: 0-00-00
Installed By: Self Installed
Installation Rating: 0/10
Comments: I use these in summer and switch to deep rubber ones for winter. Both back mats were a little snug to squeeze in but still feasible-- just have to fold the front corners under the front seats. Passenger side is great. Driver's side mat slides around a bit; you'll have to adjust/slide it back every week or so, it wants to go forward. Very easy to vacuum and clean up good; will stay looking new for a long time with regular care.

Purchased From: MRZ Performance
Purchase Rating: 5/10
Description: Adds a little chrome and a custom touch. Seem expensive for what they are really (thin stainless steel with 3M tape on the back), but they sure look nice.
TOOK FOREVER TO SHIP. Purchased at the end of June, arrived early September. When I questioned them via email, I was told there was a back order. So if it's not in stock on their website, expect a significant wait period if you choose to buy anyway.

Comments: Fairly straightforward; takes only 5 minutes. Slip flathead screwdriver under dome light cover and pop it off. Remove stock bulb, slip in new one. I had to bend the metal hook supports inwards to completely touch and hold the ends of the new light.

Purchase Price: CA$16.94
Purchased From: Canadian Tire
Purchase Rating: 0/10
Description: A flexible chrome strip with 3M adhesive backing. Peel off the tape and stick essentially anywhere on your car. Adds a nice touch of both class and sportiness.
After over a full year on my G5, it is still not stained, faded, peeling away, or showing any signs of wear really. Great quality!

Installation Rating: 0/10
Comments: Pretty straight forward. It comes in one continuous strip but can be cut into individual lengths. Be sure to use a hefty pair of scissors to get a clean cut. Make sure the surface you apply it to is clean to ensure a good strong bond. Peel back the tape and push on a few inches at a time, focusing on getting a nice straight line because there's no adjusting once it's on there-- the adhesive is heavy-duty.

Description: Found a company on Ebay allowing me to choose whatever percentage of tint I'd like for each side window and rear window. One price for the package. Tint arrived pre-cut in a cardboard tube.
Remember, darker the tint, the harder it is to see out at night.

Comments: A tricky install to do well. Educate yourself on Youtube and have everything you need handy before going at it.
My tint peeled back when putting the windows up afterwards, despite waiting for it to dry. Give it lots of time to sit and air out after completing your install.

Comments: Best if you take your shocks off, but it is feasible to do the job with them attached. Be sure to cover all of the surrounding areas with newspaper and painter's tape. Have patience between coats; follow the time guidelines on the can. Finish off with glossy acryllic clear coat to both protect and improve the finish.
