I would suggest tires but what are you trying to improve? Do you feel something is lacking or has the mod bug bitten?

Pine scent air freshener.

Maybe some f/r strut bars? I hear they would as advertised.

Something cheap and relatively easy: Lightweight crank pulley.

Something more expensive: Lightweight rims, or a good set of coilovers (+LCA and camber bolts for alignment).

Not mods. Repair or maintenance items.


Still an impressive list.

Fair point! If I had to do it all again I wonder what i'd do differently. I'd certainly save on all of the screw-ups or self-broken items. Can't regret those things though... worth the learning experience.

Anyway -- OP -- Why not some cheaper mods to keep the modding-bug away? Perhaps a front lip, MTEC springs, or sound-deadener? All were worthwhile mods IMO (don't go expensive on a front lip.. it gets beat up anyway and looks almost no different depending on the look you are going for).

Buy a 2017. It's a modification.
