Invidia midpipes. Too loud, so I sold them, no biggy.

Got springs, wish I got coils instead (like 90% of the population here). Too stubborn to get coils now.

Regret not so much. But I am having hell with the CEL and Trac being off after installing the PPE Headers. O2 conditioner doens't seem to be working so i bought a ODB2 scanner and keep resetting the lights until my mechanic and PPE figure out whats going on.

Its just a PITA at the moment, once its fixed... it'll be even more awesome then it already is

Damn I just bought invidia midpipes, hopefully it's not too obnoxiously loud. Especially since my city will be having sound traps placed around eventually.

It was very obnoxiously loud for me, personally. I only lost $20 on re-selling it so I didn't care. Installing it was a PITA if you don't have an impact gun though. So if you re-sell them and installed it yourself the hard way, you may regret it times two.

the AAC style 10k halo rings. one of the lowbeam rings broke in shipment and I didnt feel like dealing with the return process so the place i went to go install it at offered me a better and brighter halo ring that I had installed instead. the to make matters worse one of the high beam rings doesnt light up as bright. probably going to have the same company i went to install just take them out and put in better ones.

~$200 gone not including labor

going to have to say not getting a clear bra from the get go. Also getting the 1st gen flyaudio unit and ms8 was a mistake. should've done it right and had a custom dash kit made.

1 - not getting a 350
2- smoked headlights/fogs
3- going true dual and removing resonator. need something to smooth the tone out, like an x pipe, wayyy to raspy at 3500rpm+.
