Creature Comforts (1 Viewer)

If you could add any creature comforts to your 80, what would they be?

I've added Bluetooth wireless when I upgraded my stereo and I'm working on a better center console with 4 cup holders.

What other things have you added or wished you could?

 

[Reelitchy]

Trying to figure out some more neat ideas for that console are you.
Sorry - can't think of anything yet

 

[Backwoods Rambler]

No, I'm pretty set on the center console. Just trying to gather ideas that will make the 80 feel a but younger than its 21yrs

Rear AC maybe?
Dynomat to insulate the interior more?

Oh, I'm also thinking of heated seats from a 2010+ Subaru Impreza or Legacy

Heated seats for sure! I plan to get these when all major mechanicals are done. Also dont use DyoMat, use Peel and Seal from lowes. a lot cheaper and very effective.

oem quality vinyl flooring like the 1980s pickups, at reasonable money.

 

[Backwoods Rambler]

Ummm, vinyl flooring??

This sounds like the opposite of a creature comfort...

 

[brian]

depends what the creature calls comfortable....

I like that idea.. Have you done this and is it an extensive project? Adding the temp guage etc??

So now that my wife has her new Lexus IS I have been lusting over some of her creature comforts. Some of these would be nice but I would never install but others I'm adding to my list:

* heated and AC cooled seats
* leather that isn't split and worn
* blind spot monitor (love it)
* keyless entry. The fob stays in your pocket and uses RFID to unlock or lock by simply a touch of the door handle
* HID lights
* heated side mirrors
* home connect mirror
* backup camera
* LCD Dashboard

I'd like a big honking V8.. But other than that, I like the "nostalgia" of the 80

Heated seats and outside temperature reading. Both are possible, just not done yet.

I have a thread on the mock-up, but haven't posted the progress in a while. I'm waiting until the project is complete, then I'll be posting up. Search for "A better console option"

 

[Backwoods Rambler]

USB ports for charging cell, Ipad, etc.

Good idea. I have two of those currently for the front seats and have wired my iPhone cord through the dash so there's minimal wires dangling around. I plan to add more for the rear seats and cargo area.

I like this idea! More details or a thread post to reference?

I'm down for these:

Heated side mirrors
HID lights
Keyless entry (RFID)

What is a blind spot mirror?

This is absolutely on my list
