Default Ideal mods during storage?

Welp, she's going into the garage for winter coming up, and she's still stock right now. I'm looking for some more ideas from you guys for mods to do that would normally hinder the car somewhat daily drivable (tinting tails, etc)

What I have so far is

Tinting tails
Tinting rear signals
Clearing the front reflectors
Window tint
Dynamat/fatmatting interior

Had a couple more but can't remember right now...

anywho, any more ideas?

Yeah I had to rotate my air the other day...kinda sucked, but I'm glad I did! Handles so much better now.

You know how much the NISMO blinker fluid goes for? I was considering getting some.

How would tinting the tails and the windows be hard when you are daily driving? Tinting the tails takes three hours and a shop can tint the windows in an hour. Don't do 'relatively cheap' mods just to do mods. That's ricer idealogy. In other words, don't do mods just to do mods. Do what you want to do and what you think will improve the looks/performance of your vehicle.

removing tail lights, painting, curing etc.. if its done right it takes a while. simply throwing tint over them.. sure.. that's quick.
