I was never a Fiat guy...

[RobSmith]

I bought the Fiat (2013 500 Pop) as a second car - to keep the miles off my Mercedes. Told myself that - even though it looked fun, and there were lots of mods to be done, and relatively cheaply - I wasn't goint to mod the car, because, why?

So, within a week, I had pulled the hubcaps off (YES, I got a car with steelies!), and painted them flat black. And that made the car look better.

Few weeks later, I bought a set of coilovers, had them sent to the house, and installed them myself. Dropped the front end some, but dropped that buggie-ass back end a lot! WHY do they make the rear stick up in the air like a friggin dung beetle? So, that made the car look better. And handle better, and ride...well, worse.

Then I decided that the stock shifter was shit, and bought a short shifter and installed that. And that made shifting nicer, which is important because to accellerate from ANY speed, you have to downshift these damn things (Keep in mind, my other car has a normally aspirated 6.3 liter motor)

Then I heard that people said that an intake made the car sound a little better. So I got one of those (Not the really expensive ones - because, I'm gonna pay $400 to get .07 horsepower?)

Then, I decided that since the motor sounded a little angrier, I'd get rid of the rear muffler...but didn't want the raspiness that goes along with a muffler delete. So I found a resonator that would fit back there, and installed that in place of the mufler. It's not so loud that my girlfriend bitches...so that's nice.

Welcome!

I have a 2012 Pop with a few nods too. Do you have any pics of yours?

I swear it looks like the pop spoiler slopes down more than the Abarth one....

I’m sure it does, perhaps a tad more aerodynamic for better mpg?
