Converting 2015 L model to LE

I do like having regular (non-adaptive) cruise control though (even though I haven't used it but a few time so far), and side-mirror turn-signals would have been nice.

Just feel weird not having those option as my other cars do. I keep reaching for the steering wheel audio control to realize this car doesnt have it. Plus it gives me something to do, gonna leave the car stock except maybe rear swaybar.

I didn't realize that the L-trim didn't have the steering wheel audio controls. I hardly ever touch my head unit touchscreen/controls, and take those steering wheel mounted controls for granted. Heck, half the time the glare off the touchscreen is so bad here in Phoenix, AZ, that I can't see anything on the screen anyway - and that is with tinted windows.

+1 on the sway bar. I love mine - it greatly improves the feel/stability of the car on cornering, and makes it feel more stable versus strong wind buffeting and such. Should be standard equipment!

On a related note, the one thing I miss the most from my old Accord EX Sedan was drivers-side floor trunk-latch. One year into my Yaris ownership experience and I am still reaching down there to pop my hatch open.
