What if.....

You had to do away with out ONE of your mods?? What would it be and why??

On the flip side what if you can only keep one of the mods on your car, what would it be and why??

On my TLS....


I could have done without the comptech exhaust, had too much drone to it.

If i only had to keep one mod, then it would have been the HEADERS.

Uh, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ditch the K&N. Wait a second, I did ditch it.. for a CAI.

As of right now, I could do without tint. It's cool, but I wouldn't miss it as much as my other mods.

As for one mod I would keep, the lowering springs. But those are getting replaced by Tein SS soon.

i'd loose the neuspeed front strut brace. Looks ok but doesn't do shit for the steering.

i'd keep the 18'' wheels with 235 tires on it. they look so much better than the 17'' stock wheels and really help with the handling.

OMFG...we are polar opposites! Personally, I'd keep the tints (a must mod for any car IMO) and I threw away my Injen CAI for the K&N Drop-In, just because it was a PITA to maintain properly.

Tint!?!?
Seriously though - I get rid of the Borla ProXS mufflers (>$400 installed). But I'd keep the mufflers.

I'd keep the headers but get rid of the pedals. I need to tighten that brake one again.

I think almost all stock cars should be given a drop (makes any car look that much better even a civic), excepts maybe for bmws

I'd get rid of my door sills. One of them already got rid of itself.

Only above 6k revs. And actually, a CAI gives more total power.

Oh, and I would get rid of the passenger side seat belt cushion which has already been removed. It was only on there during Jennifer's pregnancy.
