Just curious.....



For me it was the comptech exhaust. i wished i never bought them in the first place. Waste of money IMO. :P

Everything else was worth it!!!

For awhile i was thinking the exhaust may have been a mistake because of the droning, but i'm used to it now and would really miss the rumble. Plus they look way better than stock imho.

are you crazy? The Comptech exhaust was the BEST mod I bought, and I only regret not buying it sooner.

what? that is my favorite mod, the HKS exhaust, for looks and sound. the springs make me hate the ride quality, I wish I would have gotten a better setup and done the install at the dealer for warranty purposes. oh well, still looks good though

Mine? The JL 250/1 amp that I bought. I wish I got the JL 500/1 instead. However, the 500/1 will be here today or Monday

hmmmmm....tough one...i guess since i spend soo much time thinking about whether a mod is worth it or not, i don't have a mod that i've regretted getting.

but i do wish i didn't have to think so long about mods, as in the case with the Type S floormats, so i do regret not getting them sooner since they're not available anymore

we'll see how the cf engine covers fare, cuz im not procastinating on this one

For me, it's the Type S wheels and tires. While they look good, I should have just gone for 18" wheels...which I will be doing soon.

Standard Type-S tread just doesn't cut it.

If I could do it again.........I'd have bought the 03' cobra and have a car that you don't have to mod(maybe exhaust) that has a warranty and run a 12 sec. 1/4 mile

A new Cobra would be quite a nice mod....

For me it was the suspension. If you live in a city that has aweful roads, this can be a pain in the ass on you and on the car. In Boston, the roads suck.

F**cked up suspension,

I love my engine mods! The only thing i hate is my interior mod, the burlywood shifter knob i got from the Acura dealer instead of ACP. The damn thing doesn't match $hit. And they told me after a while it will fade and match the rest of my fake wood trim kit. NOT! A waste of 115 bucks!

Same here, I wish I would've gotten coilovers instead of my Comptech springs.

The neon wiring I put under the dash (and eventually removed) because it wasn't a bright enough blue glow for all the work I put into it.
