Whats your favorite mod that you have done to your FR-S so far?

The title says it all. I want to know what your favorite modification that you have done to your FR-S (or brz) so far is. It can be anything from interior/exterior mods to performance engine/suspension mods. Tell me why you like it the most out of the things you have done! What is your least favorite mod, that you regret investing money/time in (if any)? I'm looking to purchase an FR-S after this winter, so I'd like to get some ideas of (and I'm sure others are also wondering) what mods people really like and what mods seem better at first than they really are.

The only mod of any type that I've done so far to my FR-S is purchased and installed the BRZ trunk lid liner. I run with the rear seats in the folded position and the liner just makes the whole back end look a little cleaner. Next will be the silencer for the cabin engine noise maker.

I have them too they ride great, not stiff at all. My favorite mod is either my wheels and tires or my Motiv Test Pipe.

Not much stiffer, same stiffness up front than a BRZ, slightly stiffer rear, one inch lower, I picked those because of those specs and don't regret at all, only needs wheel spacer to match the camber increase in rear from the drop and in front from OEM camber bolts
