Deleted windshield bumpers about 3 years ago. Bought 2 sets of license plate spikes. Dremeled off the chrome shine, primed and painted flat black.

I have the UFOs from VectorOffRoad.com, they are super nice and perfect for any hole you want to cover up, they have mini ones too for the footman loop holes or a spare tire delete.

my dash (radio) does not permit configuration settings/changes (i have the low end radio).

Found it (havent validated it myself yet) -

*Engine off, auto in P. Manual in N, clutch out, parking brake on, wheels straight.
*Start engine.
*Engine running, brake applied, clutch out, rotate steering wheel 180º counterclockwise from center (and leave it there).
*Press ESC OFF switch 4 times within 20 seconds.
*Rotate steering wheel 360º clockwise.
*Turn ignition switch OFF, then ON.
*If done properly, the “ESC Activation/Malfunction light” will blink several times to show that HSA is off.
*Steps above must be completed within 90 seconds to turn off HSA. To turn back on, repeat steps 1-7.
