I didn't want to put this in performance, because not all mod's are performance...

Anyway, want mods have you done to your car that you wish you hadn't or that just weren't worth the cost?

For me, my custom Mits TE-05 with big 16g wheel and Texas Monster Thrust Bearing seems to have been a bit of a waste. I don't think it's improved performace at all, but I hope to be able to see Jak sometime and see if he can get things sorted out better.

Also, my GFB BOV just hasn't been worth the effort to get it installed and the cost. It's a great unit, well made and all, but it is not destined to work with a SPG as a hybrid. It never "blows off", it just recirculates... AMM cars don't like BOV's, so I was certainly trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

I've had issues with many of my mods, but I'm really pleased with most of 'em. My rims were super hard to get right, but I love how they look and that they are 7" wide.

What about you? I think this is a good way to learn what products do and don't work as advertised.
