My 2 cents...

Relocate the FRUNK emergency cable to behind the tow hook cover. Do this by removing the front bumper cover. It's easier that way and you can clean the radiators at the same time.

If you ever have the rear cover removed, relocate the TRUNK emergency cable to behind the driver side bumperette.

Why do these mods? It's simple. If you're 100 miles from home, a spare key has little value. Second, if the cables are relocated, you don't need to fool around with pulling off tires, wheel well covers, hooking spare batteries, etc.

BTW: one needs a Trox driver to remove the rear umperette. I keep one in the tool bag in the FRUNK, which makes opening the rear a 5 minute several step process- open FRUNK, get driver, remove bumperette, open rear trunk.
