    New here, but no Mirage... yet! +mod plans

    How's it going everyone? I just decided to join even though I don't have a mirage yet but wow, they are amazing, effectient, and practical cars. When I get mine (after paying for school) I plan on doing road trips and making mods that are more outdoor and softroad (very light off road) oriented. We'll see where this journey takes me. The first mod I see myself doing would have to be tying a bungee to the inside rood of the car

    Hello skystarsystem and welcome to the forum.

    That's an interesting modification plan you have going. How did you come up with the idea?

    Hi and welcome.

    Safety first!

    Do mind the side curtain airbags when your putting your cargo net in place!

    What's it for?

    Bungee net roof idea

    I saw this video on youtube when I typed in "car hacks" in the youtube search bar and saw it in a video. I thought it'd be perfect for storing a sweater, sleeping bag, or food when going out camping or on a road trip

    Welcome to the forum, skystarsystem.

    Have you gotten a chance to try out a Mirage yet?

    In a way the cars are already designed as "soft roaders" since they were primarily engineered for the relatively poor roads of developing nations. The 2014 cars' suspension was completely unchanged when the cars were exported to North America/Europe (thus the many complaints about the "too soft" suspension).
