Inexpensive, Ecomony driven Changes!:roflblack:
Nice Job!:clap:

Great and inexpensive and useful mods. Very nice. :thumbup:

Cheers.

great job!
:clap:

Don't forget to buy a #155 spring, crush one end about 1/2 way and squeeze on the male portion of the trunk latch. Trunk will pop up a little when you open it. Saw this on another thread. Brilliant! :clap::thumbup:

:2thumbs: nicely done.

Where did you get the reflective decals? My local shops only have 1" 3M reflective tape and yours looks like one big piece but to size, which I like better.

thanks!

I like the screen. I also love inexpensive mods. :2thumbs:

Yes, where did you find the large reflective tape. I like the appearance and would love to add it to my :spyder2:

Had a few Spyderlovers ask about the reflective decals. Here's the website.

Comes as 2 sheets at 8"x12" They have a lot of other decals for bags and helmets.

This reflective decal is a economical, great idea. And a lifesaver at that. Thanks! I'll get some!

HOW DID YOU ATTACH THE SCREEN TO THE PLASTIC?

I would like to know more about the screen installation. . Looks Awesome by the way.

Very creative!

i used a piece of gutter cover screen from home depot, 2 or 3 bucks. you can form it to the inside of the opening. i glued it on with goop adhesive, cause that's what i had on hand. high temp silicone would work as well.:thumbup:

Looks good Coz.. thx for the info. How long does the adhesive take to dry? Or the silicone?

Here is another bottle holder did this with a regular holder from target for $5 and a spear piece of aluminum or plastic that will hold the weight

love the diy home mods. The ones you posted look great...now you got the ball rolling.:2thumbs:

Did several custom mods see in http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...14-Gene-s-Mods

Host your pictures on something like Photobucket. Copy the IMG code for the picture and paste into the body of your message.

Back to the thread: great looking and affordable mods! I need to do some of these.

Is the #155 spring the proper length also, or does it need to be trimmed so the closure is OK ?
