As for my favourite mods:
-Intake and Exhaust combo because it made the car sound like a sports car
-MTEC springs, weighted shiftknob and TRD quickshifter to make shifting even more enjoyable (I blip/downshift just for the heck of it from time to time)

Most useless/regretted mods:
-the OEM-style rear diffuser
-possibly the stickier Pilot Super Sports
-Knock-off eBay "TRD" seatbelt pads (the damn things never stayed in place to keep the belt comfortable, and always managed to snag something)
I should have showed you my stone chip collection but it was raining.
I have stone/debris chips in places that you can only scratch your head how it got there. I have one on the rear fender right beside the trunk lid for crying out loud. Most hit with a velocity that sounded like gun shots so I can't even blame "bad paint" since most would have chipped paint on a tank. My best is the big divot in my front bumper from the flying tail light assembly. Nice groove but never damaged the paint one little bit.
