Worst mod has to be when i did the aluminum gutter guard grille like 4 years ago...i think back on it now and it looked terrible. The mesh was so weak, after however many days rocks had ripped multiple holes through it. And it was very flimsy.

Since then i went through like 5 iterations of the grille to get to where i'm finally happy.

You can't be THAT unhappy.. You're selling your stock hood and trunk and keeping the CF.

oem trunk hits against bumper and had been welded by privious owner. the oem hood is ok. i paid so little for the cf thats why i wanted to sell the oem pieces to get them out of storage and hopfully make a few bucks. i just dont like it, and now i am sorta stuck with them. i would have to say it has been the worst mod i have done.

Same here, the sad thing is I still have it on there. Another bad mod was when I had hyper white turn signal bulbs. Now I have yellow not amber but yellow.

I don't think I regret any mod on my car at all. Only thing I can sorta say I "regret" is the Borla exhaust.

Well don't feel too bad, I did the same thing. I had the dealer replace my blown stock tranny with a brand new stock tranny and it only cost me 3K. It sucks being short of time. And now I wish I would have done what everyone recommends.

Anyways, the silverstar highs in the low beams just didn't fit right. I didn't trust the seal and the bulbs were a real pain to get in straight. I just ended up with silverstar lows in the low beams and kept the highs for the high beams. Now they are great.

Bolt on pedal covers on my SE. The situation was rectified with the correct ones SRP CNC'd ones. Worst mod on my SVT is the farking Kevlar clutch!!!! I didn't put it in though. Dman thing makes noise no matter what. Can't back out of a parking spot w/o it making noise. Doesn't matter if it's hot or not.

LOL!! I couldn't believe that was the clutch that I was hearing. Sounded like an airhorn at the SnS when you backed up, getting ready to have some dents pulled.
