Mods you regret

Just curious what modifications anybody regrets doing to their car, yeah, I'm bored haha.

For me I definitely regret doing the headliner, it's just becoming more of a pain in the ass as places are starting to sag and will need re done soon, also wish I would have went with a polished strut bar instead of brushed, but I guess two years ago I never knew I would one day have a polished TVS lol.

Post up I'm curious to see what you guys say!

going catless and buying a 3in exhaust

shoulda bought a 3in highflow cat DP
instead of the Hahn shoulda gone with a 2.5in something.

Car would sounded better and most likely ran better too. i Had no need for that exhaust

I regret not modding my car and spending it on my ex-girlfriend.

Does that count?

i regret ever touching my exhaust. i've spent roughly 1000 dollars in parts alone and tons of time redoing my header (been through 2 bad mabs due to bad flanges) and retightneing bolts to get rid of leaks. **** that ****!!!

besides that.... no real regrets except it took a while to get by hids working properly

Yeah my goal was to save up $2000 then I was going to trade my car in for either SS (SC or TC) so I had a better car to mod (and the car I've wanted since I was 16)

i'm also kinda regretting continental DWS (dry/wet/snow) tires. they handle good in the wet and dry but traction wise, useless in 1st gear no matter what, and they really dont give u any traction in the snow
