5-speed swap. By FAR. Turned it from a mode of transportation into the reason I'm always perky at work in the morning.

Then it's gotta be my Ksport coilovers and my half-decent audio system.

#1- THE DROP!!!!!!!!!! no more 4x4 baby! Progress/GR2s, its smother than my shot SE suspension.
#2- Urethane Motor Mounts. NO rattly drivetrain, ALOT less wheelhop, more percise shifter
#3- 5th Gen clutch
#4- Red LED lighting all around the interior. Took a few days but it turned a boring beige cloth interior into an admiriable work... at least at night when you couldn't see the biege, LOL

The HIDs + projector swap were by far my favorite mod, they made it so much more enjoyable to drive the car at night when i could finally see where i was going

Of the upcoming mods i have planned i'm gonna bet that the g35 seats are gonna be my favorite by far. Nothing like actually being comfortable while driving

For my 6th gen my fav. mods have been my RSB, short throw shifter, and the wheels. I like the drop but I might have to switch to Tein Basics after Xmas.

5spd swap was my best mod by far, but not very fun to install.

I'd say the thing most fun to install was maybe my strut bar, then hacked airbox.

Definately my turbo. That was my biggest challenge, and the most satisfying after completion.
