What mods are you mostly satisfied with?

[SilverSpear]

Most of you have done mods on your cars, some you weren't happy with while others were the best ones you had concerning satisfaction and Money/Expectation ratio. As for me, here it goes in that order (besides the BodyKit):

1- Oil based repressured struts
2- ECUtune Stage 1 chip
3- K&N air filter
4- Painting the fake wood with same exterior silver.
5- Reverse Gauges
6- Smallcar Clear Lenses
7- Megan Racing Exhaust System
8- SS brake lines

what about your mods?

[SubaSteevo]

1. Body color front grill when claret ($6)
2. Aluminum dash kit w/painted dash ($150)
3. Hella Yellowstar fog bulbs ($8)
4. Removed intake silencer ($0)
5. Bead crush ($0)
6. PIAA platinum superwhite 9005 low beams ($20)

Raceconcepts slotted rotors - massive brakeing improvement minus a point for not knowing to just get ceramic instead of semimettalics (dusting massivly)
Silverstar headlights - gotta see even before I cleaned my headlights (fogged)
and Green cone air filter- love the sound nothing really noticeable performance wise though

[immortal_suby]

Happy:
1: ECUtune stage 1v4
2: Smallcar shift kit
3: Slotted rotors
4: powdercoated afbeefcake calipers (not really a mod, but my calipers were 215k old and these look much cooler and +5 stopping hp)
5: 17 inch rims
6: Falken azenis sports. (not really a mod, but such an improvement in grip it could techically be considered one)
7: poly swaybar bushings
8: all aluminum radiator

Not thrilled:
1: K&N panel filter
2: custom exhaust : sound= much better! performance = lost all my low end torque but gained in high end. Not so cool for around town driving. Great for highway passing.
3: ecutune supercharger (because I can't afford one and I am jealous :( )

[SVXObsessed]

Great:

1. Ecutune stage 1v4
2. 97 grill
3. Cold air intake in fender wall
4. True Dual Exhaust
5. Sound System
6. 18" wheels

8. Remote start alarm

okay:

1. CF Hood (i wish there were different styles)
2. Throttle Body bypass mod
3. Lightened Crank Pulley
