One mod you love and wouldn't change. And one you kinda regret?

[agreywolfe]

Love and wouldn't change:
the front fenders
The wheels- though depending on what the next year or two looks like, i may consider a second set for dedicated track tires
RTR grille and side rockers
The Whipple
The Dash camera

love and may or may not change:
Tires- the Nittos have done well over the past 2 years but im probably going to swap them after the summer in prep for '27 for some PS4S or Conti extremes now that ive got a bit more spending cash
wing- i bought a certified chinesium wing a while back, love the look, but have been considering other options not sure if ill swap or not
stripes- this ones just a given with vinyl, theyve been on the car since delivery so im expecting them to start showing wear over the next couple years
paint- Oklahoma is a sunny place with some fucking awful roads, ive got a few rock chips over the years so will need paint repair done. or go more extreme (and expensive) and just have the car repainted (same color, probably remove the metallic flake, and add stripes) or wrapped in a few years.

"regret" and will probably change: RTR front splitter. i dont really regret it, in fact i love the look, but it hangs an extra half to 3/4 inch below the stock setup and scrapes in a lot of spots around me, i ended up cracking it earlier this year after looking at a driveway the wrong way. if and when i do replace it ill probably go with an APR splitter or a DH HP splitter which doesnt hang as much

No mods here yet. I'll probably do shocks and a stop the hop kit in time.
I have fitted seat belt extenders, which work great. I also have front parking sensors, which would be great if they were installed properly, and I've fitted a front cam.
And this is the first car I've done a mirror tap for my detector. Much easier than a full hard wire.

Ah, I forgot to mention I have a mirror mount and tap on order. Should have it in a few days.

Favorite mod was wheels and tires. Changed the ride quite a bit.

Regretted mod…. A shifter hoodie with a gold chain. My wife gave me crap for months. It has since retired to the center console.

You need to get one of those aftermarket shift knobs that burns your hand when the car sits in the hot sun. It would give this some legit functionality.

The only cargo net I’ve seen is the vertical one that attaches across the rear at the taillights. I thinks it’s pretty useless. Or, maybe I’m not using it correctly or to its full utility. Do you have one that lays horizontal across the floor? If so, where do you attach the forward ends? I don’t see any attachment points behind the back seats.

Yep, that one, attaches to the 4 clips at the back of the trunk: top left, bottom left, top right, and bottom right. It has 2 cords that connect the top clips and 1 cord that connect the bottom clips, so it's shaped like a V when opened up. It fits grocery bags and milk jugs inside or trapped between the trunk panel and the net.

Dhp1 wheels and dark horse steering wheel are i think one of my favourite mods. But i kinda like them all

I forgot to mention the dash cam I installed.

I have gotten a lot of unexpected use out of my dash cam. Several drunk drivers, 2 wrecks, and a few people up a curb trying to show off around me.

One I love: RTR duckbill spoiler

One I regret: MBRP axel back exhaust. NOTHING BUT A PITA.

MGW Shifter = Favorite Mod

This and a McLeod Twin disc make the biggest difference with the MT82.

I have a couple of these in the glove compartment for those hot summer days

I generally regard "mods" as performance or mechanical in nature. Like a tune, exhaust, or suspension. Ive done none of that on my S650 and have no plans to. But I have done those things on previous S550s and the only one I regretted was lowering springs from Steeda.

The minor functional or visual things I have done are - added PP wheels, Air Design spoiler, shock tower and K-brace (highly recommend if you're car didnt already come with it), Dark Horse rear fender splash guards, rubber mustang floor mats from Ford, seat belt extenders, front clip PPF, and Cermaic coating. I also added RTR style hood stripes but had to take them off recently due to rock damage.

Why did you regret the Steeda lowering springs?

Why did you regret the Steeda lowering springs?

The stance looked killer. But the car was easy to scrape on driveways and speedbumps. Plus I had major difficulties getting a proper alignment, and the there was suspension noise that no one was ever able to fix. It ended up being an expensive PITA and was one reason why I sold the car. It might sound silly to some but it was always in my head and I just got tired of stressing over it. Never again.

Favorite mod: Strut Tower Brace - Tightened the front end up so much without negatively affecting the car in any way.

One I kinda regret: Partial PPF - Should have spent the extra money and done ENTIRE car in PPF vs just the front end. Micro scratches are starting to show in the non-PPF'd area's. My lifestyle and available time means I run through car washes vs careful handwash. PPF would have protected the paint entirely. But it was $2100 vs $6000 and I just couldn't make that happen.
