What mods are you mostly satisfied with?

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?

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

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 )

01) Aux tranny cooler
02) 9005 light conversion
03) Alcyone Hood Badge

Future mods I have the parts for but no time to install at the moment (in no particular order):
04) ECU Tune Stage1 V4 Chip
05) Race Concepts Slotted/Dimpled Rotors
06) Stainless Steel Brake Lines/Blue Racing Brake Fluid
07) Small Car Grille

Future mods I don't have parts (or money) for at the moment:
08) Upgraded stereo
09) Clear headlights
10) Clear or JDM corners
11) Alcyone rear light bar
12) Mychailo Type A drop springs
And Im sure there are a few others that will come to mind
(not counting any tranny changes that may occur if/when mine bites the dust)
