I definitely would have gotten my car opti-coated and the x-pel ultimate shield I had put on put on right away instead of balking at the price and waiting around undecided on it for a few months.

My front bumper looked pretty bad in direct sunlight after only four months of use. I was lucky in that I had my front bumper repainted by the dealership that some idiot scraped when they parked my car after bringing it in for its first service.

Same thing with my license plate relocation kit. I didn't want to drill a hole in the tow cap and didn't like the asymmetry at first. Then after having my real plates for two days I got a $80 citation for no front plate while my car was parked downtown. I got the fine reduced by going to court, and I got the GrimmSpeed relocation kit which I really liked almost as soon as I installed it. I just wish I would have done it to begin with instead of letting that happen first and thinking I'd be fine driving around with no front plate in Portland.

Don't think I would loose anything as I'm very happy with all of my modifications right now, but I guess I've only done a handful of them and most are cosmetic.
