I agree about the black wheels, even gloss, they kind of disappear unless they are in direct sunlight.

It is pretty loud when lugging or engine braking.

Yeah, notice kind of a loud drone, under a load, like climbing a hill on a freeway. But taking it easy around town or idle, doesn't seem loud and I have the TRD intake as well. But get the rpm's up engine breaking or accelerating, like in autox, and yeah, its loud, but its a good kind of loud!

A wiring kit to hook up a 10" subwoofer and amp I had on hand. It's nice being able to hear the bass when I listen to music on road trips. But I've ended up just leaving the amp/sub out of the car so I can go autocross every so often and I'm too lazy to hook back up all the wires.

My extended warranty...

Spending $1200 on a catback instead of just going with a muffler delete.

Buying those stupid aluminum CNC fan control rings. They don't fit in the winter and fall off during hard driving.

I hate those things. Sure it'd be nice to have different colors or finishes for your knobs and trim, but most of them are just covers which makes no sense. Like Password:JDM's carbon fiber engine bay accents that don't reduce weight because they just go on top of the part.

A little superglue does wonders, that's what I did

A coat of paint on the inside of the ring (you can use a brush) is just enough extra friction to keep them hanging on tight. Did it, and it works great.
