What's your favorite mod to date?

As everyone builds they're own unique twin, everyone has their favourite mod...The one that had the best value for the money you spent and your car is just that much more complete because of it.

Name your favourite as you build! Try to say why it's your favourite, cost, etc. in your post *And add a pic if you can!

Mine:
Probably a toss-up between two of my top upgrades because they're for such different reasons
a. Upgraded head unit (see my signature) -- It makes the sound quality really clear on the OEM speakers, the video is crystal clear and the GPS is pretty flawless...Definitely worth the $1000 I spent
b. Magnaflow Exhaust...Had it installed at the dealer because she sold me on the sound...just the right amount of growl but not rice and not annoying...Couldn't stand how it sounded before I put it on so definitely one of the best mods so far

Biggest bang for the buck? $110 clear JDM side markers. Really transforms the car, but not something that most people would be able to put their finger on. :-)

Turbocharger. 75% power increase is worth every penny.

Well, the only mod I've done so far is a K&N filter, so... K&N filter?

Every mod I have done isn't noticeable to the average person, but my favorite to date is the borla catback with nameless overpipe. The exhaust note is just sporty enough to get me to notice it every time I drive it.

My exhaust for sure. PPE catless front pipe and agency power catback. Sounds rowdy

In terms of best value, Stoptech brake pads. It's the cheapest mod I've done so far, but probably one of the most important.

I have yet to install any of the mods I've purchased, but I'm most excited about my new seat.
