Single most important mod ?

What would you say is the most important mod, considering price is an issue ?

The maglite mod is pretty cheap and easy to do. Comes in handy often too.

What are you looking for?

Performance?

Handling?

Looks?

Performance = Y-pipe
Handling = Rear Sway Bar
Looks = Tint

REAR SWAY BAR and ANY TIRES THAT ARE NOT POTENZA RE92's...there's your handling.

RSB $100-250 from Cattman, Stillen, Progress, Addco, or Stillen knock-off on ebay. They all work the same.

Falken 512 tires about $100 each.

there you go!

The spare tire mod doesn't count... it comes from the factory like that

the "maglite mod" involved screwing a mounting bracket into the car, not just "having a maglite in the car"....So...since there is a component (mount) for the maglite actually attached to the car, I think it can be considered a "mod"....

If you attach a bag to the trunk that holds your soccer ball...then you have the "soccer ball mod"....the ball by itself is not a mod...sorry
