What Do You Most Regret Buying for your Twin?

[nzer]

My "armrest phase" where I bought five different armrests before settling on the one I like.

Followed by my "shark fin phase" where I bought five different shark fins before settling on the one I like.

Lots of wasted time/money

This thing. Fucking smelt like shit.

Lesson learned though, go with your gut the first time around.

I'm in the same exact boat. I think these wheels are the bang for your buck. But I really wanted 17x9, which I will get once my current tires need to be replaced.

The good thing about the matte gunmetal finish of these wheels is that they never look dirty....or clean...lol...

I would say my previous Injen exhaust. It sounded amazing but droned too much for my girlfriend. Ended up selling it for a steal 2-3 months later

I regret buying my extended warranty. Luckily I was able to cash it in, and I only ended up losing $200.

I regret buying the Scion OEM all weather floor mats. If I had known I couldn't use it on top of the FRS carpeted floor mats. I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. I would have bought some cheap floor rubber/plastic mats from Walmart or O'Reilly's. So I guess the carpeted mats will lay in the trunk or sell the Scion OEM all weather floor mats on Craigslist.

Still never received an opinion on if dealer added parts still qualify as "stock" from anybody!

If true, I'll be right back and ask my dealer to install a Supercharger for me and have it under warranty

I totally regret getting the dealers rust proofing.. I've only ever known of the oil stuff and had no idea that they were gonna use the wax kind. It was hell getting it all off of the engine bay.

I have a friend who worked for the local Toyota dealership here in Hawaii. He told me don't ever put rust proofing because the cars are rust proofed in the factory. Sadly I had it done on my previous car, Scion XA . That gunk was stuck all over on the wheel well and mud guards. It was like black tar. I feel your pain!

APR carbon fiber front lip. Looks cool, but damn expensive and it cracks every time you scrape the front end exiting a parking lot, etc.

Did not know you could do that, I bought one also as they said if I did the bank would lower the interest rate quite a bit. I might have to give them a call and see if I can cash it in also, I do not remember how much it cost but I know it wasn't cheap, and once I go FI there is no way in hell they are going to warranty any of the engine or drive-train anyways.

I guess "cashing it in" was the wrong term. You don't get the money back in the form of a check or anything. It just gets deducted from the overall amount that you owe on the car. I orginally bought the warranty for $2,400. I decided to cancel it, so it reduced the overall amount I owe by $2,200. I figured paying the car off as early as possible was the better option for me.

I bought a Beat Sonic Blaid antenna. I can't decide whether I like it or hate it. My feeling on that changes each time I see it.

LOL yeah I do love that about them, especially after track days. They're usually caked with brake dust, but nobody can tell. Dirty, clean... all looks the same.
