How about these:

I am currently working on a third brake light for my roll bar.

I have also thought about making the marker lights flash with the turn
signals.

I have seen louvers on the hood to help bring down the engine room
temperature. What about scoops just behind the front wheels for the same
purpose.

On a more radical tack:

What about a continental kit on the trunk to make more trunk room. Or
perhaps mount the spare on the roll bar braces ala the desert racers.

I know it is not politically correct but I like toggle switches. Remove the
radio and place toggles for as many of the push/pull switches as you can.

I would like to clean up the steering column by removing the ignition
switch. A kill switch (toggle of course) could be installed and a push
button to start the engine could go where the throttle knob is.

But I guess I should really get the engine running better and adjust the
brakes.
