So i've been installing small ... accessories? mods? - whatever you want to call them over the past few weeks and wanted to share my experiences... the prices are approximate (basically what i remember).
1. Ursa Minor dead pedal (~$36)
If you've ever not known what to do with your left foot (MT drivers better shush!), this would be perfect for you... this small mod adds a proper spot to plant your leg in tight turns and brace yourself - or just relax your foot while driving:

2. eBay Stick-on Garmin GPS mount (~$5)
For the longest time, i used the window suction cup method, and in the E the windshield is just too far to comfortably interact with the GPS while driving... so i got this tiny stick on mount, and haven't looked back. Highly recommended if you use a Garmin GPS (although i'd be surprised if this wasn't made for other brands):

3. Lightinsight.com prizm window sticker (~$17)
If you ever stop at a red stop light, and find yourself bending down and awkwardly craning your neck to see when it's changing to green, then you need this - it's a little prizm sticker that shows you what's normally out of your line of sight (i.e. hidden by the roof line)

4. eBay pre-cut rubber mats for all the various cubby holes in the E (~$18)
Stops your keys/phone/mp3 player, etc. from sliding around - simple, but useful... and the pre-cut ones make installation idiotically simple

5. Various security features - i park on the street, and wanted to reduce the likelihood of someone messing with my car.
So i've put on wheel locks ($20) (from Amazon, but exactly the same as OEM) and the locking gas-cap (fixed to work with my door-key, so it was about $55 total with the locksmith's fee)... gives me a little peace of mind for not a lot of $$ spent! if you park in your own garage at night, you probably don't need these ;-)

Didn't take a pic of the gas cap - forgot :grin:
