2-1/2 weeks into ownership, and this is what I've done so far...

[MavGirl!]

So, I bought my Mav Lariat on May 15th. I joined this group on the 16th (thanks to @Crowman for telling me about the group!), and started having fun right away, adding mods and accessories. This is what I've done, so far (not in this order), and the vendors from whom I purchased (in parentheses):

*MTC decal (actually placed it beneath rear cab slider window, then had to remove it and re-position it once the tonneau was installed, as the tonneau mostly covered the decal! BTW, it removed and re-positioned effortlessly, no stretching or tearing. Good quality sticker! Thanks, @RDRahn !)
*Center console 2-tier organizer tray (MUSLOGY)
*Dashboard compartment storage tray insert (TOPINSTALL)
*Tailgate suspension assist (KLUTCHTECH)
*Hard, tri-fold tonneau cover (EDROSIE INC/eBAY)
*Mesh cargo net (MUSLOGY)
*In-channel window vents/visors/rain deflectors (eBay/SUPERAUTOUS, LLC)
*MAVERICK carbon tailgate letters (eBAY/seller out of Sarasota, FL)
*Cup holder coasters/inserts (OPPSVIUST)
*2x large heavy-duty Home Depot bins to store stuff in the bed (jumper cables, minimal tools, bungee cords, rain gear, small compressor, flashlight, WD40, blankets, re-useable shopping bags, etc.), these bins held in place by ...
*Ratcheting cargo bar (KEEPER)
*Tailgate hole cover (made by our group member @P99Guy )

-I'm waiting for my rearview mirror with auto-dimming/digital compass/Homelink to arrive ... ordered from KIA dealer in So Dade Co, FL ... we have yet to see whether or not they'll be able to fill that order. So far, no cancellation of said order. Fingers crossed ... stay tuned!
-----------EDIT:Grrrrrrr! Just got the cancellation email from So. Dade KIA that the order has been cx'd, and refund issued, for this rearview mirror. Crapola!!!

-I'm working on designing some prototype netting inserts for the front doors, possibly rear doors, as well, so stuff doesn't fall out of the door pockets!! Netting fabric has been ordered, still sourcing proper braid trim and cord elastic to finish edges/top. Remains to be seen how those will work out. Again, stay tuned!

And I thought the spending was done when I bought the truck!?! No the fun has just begun!

Nice tailgate hole cover!

It is a VERY nice tailgate hole cover! Much sturdier than the Mabett one I had to return because it didn't fit, and somewhat thicker than the one I returned. This one fits in the tailgate hole perfectly, is well made and sits in there nice and solid. Thanks so much, David ... great product!

Seriously! I'm having so much fun accessorizing this lil truck! My husband has an F250, and he just shakes his head and laughs at me for all the fun stuff I'm buying. And I'm learning about it all on this forum! I'm not done yet, though (runs away giggling, to see what else I can find for my "Trucklet").

 

[MavGirl!]

I'm not big on naming my vehicles, but my husband insists on calling this one "Trucklet". He has a F250.
I tried to buy the Kia homelink mirror, Kia can't even get a hold of the part anymore. I'm still researching it. I had one on order, paid for and all, for $13.99, and $11.14 shipping. Smokin' deal! They notified me yesterday that they had canceled and refunded my order because Kia can't even get their hands on that part anymore. Bummer. I continue to look.

Thanks so much, Foodie! I just ordered it. Now it remains to be seen, whether or not they will fill that order. Fingers crossed. Stay tuned!

Why the KIA mirror? What does it do that it is an upgrade?

It has a self-dimming mirror, it has a digital compass in it, and it has homelink, which lets you do things like open up your garage door by touching a mirror button.

 

[HotRod]

Foodie, does this have the homelink buttons? The link shows them in the picture, but a google search comes up showing it does not have the homelink buttons.

I like it too. No bias either
No other design was stolen by a major corporation, and as Oscar Wilde once said, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”
