Whats your absolute favorite Mod to date?

Presto · 06-26-2009, 04:25 PM

I'm torn between the handling upgrades or the stereo upgrades. I don't think i could live without either, but I'd probably pick the handling mods as my favorite, since the JBL system isn't that bad.

Boo, I got the B&G Springs. Next thing I need to get is new shocks because I think these are going to blow soon from what i've seen on other lowered cars.

The Michelin Hydroedges are up there ... 70K miles, and they hardly look worn.
All time? Lockpic.

oooh, that's a tough one ... let me think about it ...

Obus Ultra Forme backrest by far, if I had to pick just one.

Next ones in order are:
2. Window tint
3. Mudguards
4. Tom's front strut brace
5. Cotton seat covers

Definitely the CA HOV sticker

But to answer the question (in order of value):

Coastal Tech nav speed sensor product (early version)
Steering wheel cover
Rear bumper hitch
Coastal Tech EV Mode
Chassis reinforcing plate

Next:
20" wiper (on order)

Very interested in:
Coilover installation/replacement. On this, there doesn't seem to be a useful thread on coilover comparisons and replacement. I'm not a believer in spring replacement, but want to improve handling and lower the car. Any advice would be welcomed.

+2. I always do this to my cars if they don't have a factory leather wheel. Mine didn't fit as well as previous wheelskins (or maybe I should have warmed it a lot) and I will probably re-do it with a 2-tone one.

I would have to say my auto folding mirrors.
