I regret not getting a manual transmission. That's pretty much it. I also wish I could have been a little neater when I painted my calipers, but it's no big deal.

I love all of my mods.

I do regret buying my header as it will be lost money when I go turbo. but right now I love it and my exhaust. just to damn loud.

I've had my car 9 months and only one chip, the crappy part is the clear bra wouldn't even have helped.

Best thing to do is a search on any search engine. I just did a search on ask.com and got a few hundred results. Or check with your local body shops to see if they'll make a custom one for you.

I regret not getting a clear bra.

I also regret getting a shift **** through Toyota. After I bought my car with it, I found them online MUCH cheaper.

Multiple resonators with a high flow eliminate rasp and keep a deep tone even at WOT.

The clear bra!!! Well i'm glad i'm not the only one.
And ditto for every mod, cai/header/exhaust/shift ****.
Could have turbo by now if I had never bought those mods that are just going to come off when i do turbo my tc.

Default rock chips?

You want to stop the rock chips?? I have the easier solution and it doesn't involve buying a ugly clear bra. STOP TAILGATING!!! My wife has the same problem with rock chips on her 05 V6 Accord and when I rode along with her and we were so close to the car infront of us that I could have spit forward and actually hit the car. Seriously, rock chips (for the most part) come from following too closely so if you have more than a handfull, slow down and pace your space. Your car will thank you for it!

I regret getting such a loud exhaust..

I like it 70% and hate it 30% of the time.

Fully agreed. My car is just barely 2.5 months old and I have a bunch of rock chips in my front bumper. I'm gonna snag a Clear bra soon enough.

WOW identical story with my cousin in VA. he took a turn too quick and landed in a ditch and did 8000 in damages,

But i regret not getting a performance clutch when i got my lightweight flywheel, i bought a stock one instead, and it was even more expensive than the performance one.

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.
i also wish i got a clear bra, but on the other hand, people who do have it end up with a line going straight across the middle of their hodd and the car ends up looking like two different colors, the new covered by the bra and the old, exposed part of the car.

Either way, you'll need a new paint job

I regret buying an automatic lol. Oh and also removing my main cat because my car runs kinda sluggish now. Im pretty sure its cause of that because it never happened before. Maybe it just needs a tune.
