Priority Mods?
 
For those of you who enjoy modifying your cars in anyway (Emblems, Rims, Engine, Exhaust, ect.). In what order do you prioritize them? What do you feel has the greatest impact on your enjoyment of the car?

For me it went like so:

Emblem
Tail Lights
Shark Fin

Mainly because they were the cheapest and easiest to change. I plan to change my Rims and the Shifter next.

I've bought more stuff for the car than I'd care to think about, but I'd still enjoy the car without all of that stuff; I buy things because I'm addicted to online shopping and I have a problem.

In these parts we call that the "Mod Bug"

I believe we need to create a thread for those of us who are addicts.... :sigh:

weederr33 10-21-2015 12:24 AM

Oh yeah... Priority for me was....

catback exhaust
quick shifter
supercharger....

It all happened so quickly, I don't remember what was truly priority.

First Thing I did was add my dash cam and hook it up to it's own independent power supply because people think this car is worth way more than it is and like to touch or mess with it when parked in certain places. Next was "Hardwiring" my radar detector because lets be honest we all speed with this car even if it is "only" 200 HP. Then came the full LED swap interior and exterior as well as JDM headlight replicas with HIDs. Only recently did I add the engine mods i.e the oft tune and trd intake, UEL comes next.

sometimes I feel I buy things for this car so quick I find myself later regretting it..


FIRST thing I did to the car was
OFT tablet/tune
intake and shift knob
wrap the roof black
headlights
ordered HT auto lip kit
coilovers and wheels
taillights and 4th LED brake light




I liked the wheels I had but all I kept thinking how it was a rushed purchase and a good (cheap at the time) purchase, 4 months after I sold them and bought another set of wheels, sold my coilovers and now I am on airbags..


I wish I had not ordered any aesthetic things and simply gone boost.
But voiding factory warranty still keeps me away from modding anything motor wise..

On this car:
Brake Pads, Brake Fluid, Camber Bolts, Alignment.

tints
muffler delete
HID
LED interior/etc lighting
Tires

caliprep 10-21-2015 12:54 AM

None of you have tints?

Tints were like the very first thing i did.

I don't think I've ever seen a vehicle in my state sold without the windows being Tinted. My came with maximum legal tint.

Rims are gonna be my next buy for sure, also might add a lip and side skirts while I'm at it. I'm also looking at a Dashcam, ValentineONE radar detector, and a new head unit with Carplay.

Haha, I also always wanted yellow Halo Ring lights since I was a kid, but don't know how well they'd go with a Whiteout and monogram headlights, and since I'm pretty new to all this and don't even know how to go about it without paying someone to do it, so I can't really just try it out.

I prioritised wheels and suspension first as i was tracking and steadily improving, but over the course of a couple of years the cosmetic and now power mods have all trickled in.
