Talking Kender's 2002 Luna Green NB GLS

Well, brand new NB owner as of today, and can't wait to share my pics of my new baby.

She doesn't quite have a name yet - although I am sure it will come to me. No mods yet either, but once I make a few, I'll update her pictures.

First of all - I used to drive a minivan. No longer!
MINIVAN - TRANSFORM!






Planned mods:
-Window tint (pending - to be done this weekend)
-Gearshifter changeout (whenever I find one I like)
-Stereo upgrade (pending - to be done today!)

Isotope was a yellow-green released in '01. This is the '02 SE. But the Isotope was rather cool.

Wow. I love some of the mods you have done, and you're giving me ideas!

And finally, before I go into "mod" pictures, here's a final one from today.. had to run out and take a picture before it started raining for the weekend.

Default First mods!

The most important thing to do - get my stereo back in working order!


-Pulling out the Monsoon cassette deck


-Gutted! But.. why is the glovebox open?


-Because we had to (carefully!) dremel a hole.. but again.. why?


-New stereo installed. So very shiny!


-That is why! A place for the iPod control cable! (And the iPod itself!


-And finally - reversing the gearshifter. (My knee was brushing the shift-release button when I drove - and it made me nervous. Eventually I plan on replacing the shift lever, once I find something I like.)

Latest change. Window tint!



Mind you, this "after" photo is like 20 minutes after the tinters were done, so it doesn't look 100% yet - but not bad at all.

Better pictures when the sun comes back out.

I am so jealous that you are getting mods done quicker than me!!! That beetle looks so happy to be with you...

Have you gotten a name for the little one yet?

Well I haven't decided. I was thinking "Kaylee" because she's so shiny, or "Kerilinth" because she's small and green.

Here's a quick snap of the door-handle guards actually installed after a bath.
