I regret putting $8k into a cobalt SS, then buying a '01 Camaro SS on top of it and realizing how much $8k could have got me in that car

I regret removing my highrise spoiler, and cheaping out for 6 months and not filling the holes by putting vinyl over them instead.

Only mod I regret was buying my Supercharged Cobalt. The thing was so slow and I hated yellow so much. I had 5k down on it and then traded it in on the LNF and lost 5k. oh well

I too regret the retrofits from BuyHIDs. Mine weren't bad, but not good as OEM. Mine started to peel and steam up inside. Happy to be OEM now, Not as beautiful but nice regardless.

I also regret my ZZP Spun Metal Cat Downpipe. I'm pretty sure it just failed on me. The exhaust on my car smells pretty bad from memory. Should have just went MPx or cheaper catted DP.

I sort of regret my CM springs. Every day I wish the rear end was a touch lower. Looks alright if the gas tank is full though or I've got stuff in the back. I guess if I didn't go CM it might have lead to a different regret if I had gone lower and broken an axle or something.

At first I regretted going catless. The smell really bothered me at first, but now its either gotten better or I've gotten used to it.

CM is low in the front, the rear could go lower but the tear doesn't have axle's... Lol

thats surprising to me..... i love my muffler delete on catless. so many pops/gurgles and I can still hear the turbo spool all day long.. I do have cat warmup disabled though so that helps with cold start noise, otherwise I would complain about that for sure.

All the aftermarket intakes I wasted money on, haha.

Although, I did gain some good info testing them.
