Default Something you regret doing to your tc?

Hey guys. I just got my 07 tc recently and instead of asking what I should do to it I was hoping I could get some regrets. I might learn more from this.

So if you could go back in time before you did something what mod it it be?

the optional 18s can be had cheap!! i have them and i overpaid...got them for $700 with falken 512s. i've seen much better deals locally in boston. i almost bought a second set since they were $500 with tires.

I second that...I have a chip the size of my pinky fingernail with rust dripping down it. CLEAR BRA should be your first investment.

I regret not adding that gfx lip from the getgo.

From the initial purchase, I regret letting the dealer wash it before I drove off. Couple weeks later I discovered the deep circular swirl marks on the rear hatch paint, which won't come out using swirl remover. I'll never let the dealer wash my car again!

Headers by far. I have spent tons of cash trying to make the car not sound like poo. No matter what you read full exhuast and headers (which have not cat) sound like poo and not much better with a high flow cat.
