what EU mods that can easily be carried back to the US?

I have a friend that's coming over from the Germany next month, he said if there's anything I want for the car there he can bring it over for me. What's a cool mod that's available?

Maybe folding side mirrors? Probably much cheaper there?

As a car-lover, I can't wait to move back to the US -- because I can't afford my hobby in Europe.
