For my 2014 it's been a while since I bought anything for it.
For my 1992 Coupe my last purchase was yesterday from AM and I got the arm rest pad replacements. I also bought a roll of quick-roof (cheap alternative to Dynamat from home depot) so that I can do inside the doors while I've got the panels off again. Before that my last purchase was last week and it was registration, and still need inspection sticker... then I can drive the damn thing!

My Nitto drag radials were worn out (aren't they always?) and after 60k miles, the front NT555ZRs were getting cracks in them. Time for fresh shoes!
Hankook Ventus R-S3 in 265/35-20 and 305/35-20
While everything was apart, I had the wheels refinished too.
I'm happy so far. They are much quieter and ride better than the Nittos. And I may be crazy but these seem to have even more straightline grip than the DRs ever did. Yes, I took the stickers off before driving it.

Nope. Daily drivers don't need power.

Then why didn't you just buy a Versa or Prius? Shame on you.

I did that last year, except I went ahead and bought the kit from LRS that had window motors, door lock actuators, tools, etc. as well as the new locks and keys. Well worth it if you're gonna be in there doing it anyways.

It's a vert so it's the quarter window motor that is bad. Everything else in my car works perfect. She is a low mile garage queen.

Just installed JLT cold air, Bama Race tune, Off road H pipe, and Magnaflow Mufflers in place of the resonators. BTW it is way too loud. Runs great though.
