List your top 3 mods

Howdy again

I thought we might try a new idea... how about everyone list their top 3 favorite mods for the 2G TL? Links, pictures, reasons, whatever are welcome.

To better split things up, you could list your top 3 favorite performance mods, and top 3 favorite aesthetic mods.

for the tl i'd say
1. drop - better handling and of course slammage always looks nice
2. oem kit - astetics changes the look WAY better
3. headers - most power increases.

Before the 6 speed swap.

#1. Would have had to be the shifter mod of reversing the way SS worked.
#2. Brakes (slotted rotors and green stuff pads)
#3. Removing the resonators.


The best mods to date for me

6 speed swap,
Custom exhaust
Lowering
