Mods you regret doing!
#121
I didnt have a Capacitor For The Longest Time. and i was running almost 1000 Watts RMS. Not to mention Heated Seats Were On Alot, Blower, Bose on Full Blast. got to the point the Alternator only put out 13.3V at IDLE and everytime i stopped the car it would start to kill the battery.. hence Dead battery Number 2. well, thats all fixed now. im getting Older 300 watts from a Kicker Amp is Fine Enough for me.

Well if its resurrected...
I cut my carpet to put a piece of mdf under it near the drivers seat so I could bolt an amp to that. I also put a bolt into the floor pan in that area for a ground. The amp quit working and I ripped it out. Still have the nasty carpet right there and the bolt. I will probably go to a junkyard and get another carpet at some point to hide it all.
Future mods (which I already have some of the parts for) I think I won't regret:
Energy Suspension bushings and mounts
Exedy Stage 2 Clutch and new OEM flywheel
Tokico Illuminas and S-Techs
WS Y Pipe
Vortech Supercharger
Walboro 255 and Emanage

cutting my springs because i couldnt wait til my ksports came in.
^^^you cut your shift ****? i, for some odd reason, want to make my auto shifter longer. i wonder if it is possible?...
Hmm... let me start. CE red/clear taillights, warpspeed super-flo y-pipe (removed a long time ago), shortening the automatic shift ****, putting led's in the gauges, hacking the stock airbox (got rid of the hacked one a long time ago too)... that's all I can think of right now.

I regret installing a short shifter while I had my crossmember out to poly the mounts. I managed to f-up something in the transmission so now it sticks going in/out of 5th. Oh well, something fun to do when I have the trans out for a clutch job in the future. Yippee!
#136
Anything bought from walmart instead of air freshener LOL, Reverse indiglo gauges that shine this annoying bluish green instead of clean blue, diamond plate floormats (look good but scuff way too easy), changing my 12's 3x instead of upgrading interior speakers once, replacing sarona front bumper with cheaper one and it not fitting.
#137
i regret my ****in wheels. cd wheels. yeah what the **** is that right? they suck.... will replace that ****. >=( i wasted money on 3 audiobahn subs. wasted money on a kenwood amp, wasted money on my stupid tein coilovers that wont lower the back low enough delete the gap. ..... thats it.
#140
I regret SEAFOAM...I poured that **** in without the engine on, not alot but enough to make me notice I lost some power.
I also let it soak for about 40 min while i was working on my brakes. Cars low end is practically GONE.

Well, the only mods I have so far would be the drop in K&N air filter I put in about 7 years ago, factory red/clear tails and clear front turns. The only reason I regret buying the tails is because I spent $300 getting them off ebay about 7 years ago. They look freaking sweet with a pearl white paint job though. Even though It's pretty much stock, this baby still hauls ***. Even with 205k miles.
00vi VERY SOON!
P.S. I guess you could also count the fog lamps, gold emblems/lettering and a spoiler. I bought a trunk and bumper with the gold lettering and fog lights already in from the junk yard. Best $70 I ever spent on this car. Also a few free parts like a leather shift ****, gold antenna, etc. Junk yards are great.

DTM cracked the lenses reheating, awapping the leather back seat out of a 99 gle, there's a gap at the top, painting the interior of my corner lights black, didn't hate the look but could have used ascetone to strip the chrome finish off, and free hand cutting the tweeter wholes into the door panel 3 perfect one a lil oblong.
but thanks definitely gonna nix that led interior idea and i love my STS 2 years and no problems
