I regret not putting the clear bra on - I bought it but never got around to putting it on and I have a bunch of rock chips.
I bought an automatic in 2004 before anyone else had one. It was one of the first ones off the line. I regreted buying the Automatic so much that I traded it in for a manual in Feb. 2006. That was just a dumb mistake but the thing I hate the most was that the first one was white (LOVED IT) and my new one is Black Sand Pearl (HATE IT- but am dealing with it). I wanted to paint it a completely different color but don't want to invest $3,000 just for that.

I regret driving my car to work everyday. about 3-4 months ago, got off work from the midnight shift, went to the parking lot and saw that someone keyed my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in rage. From then on, i've been writing down license plates of people i park next to when i go places, and for work, i don't park next to anyone. I park way in the back where no one else parks. So it's a journey for me to walk from the employee bus stop to my car everyday.
I also regret not getting the clear bra. Mind you, I live in NY. Anyone who lives in NY or has visited knows how our streets, parkways and expressways are like. I take the Van Wyck Expwy everyday to go to school, unfortunately they've been doin construction for like 10yrs and there's just no other way to get from Kennedy Airport to La Guardia Airport. Rock chips are not bad on my car, can't really see them, but i know where they are. Gonna have the bumper repainted, hood also, then probably get the bra. I do intend on keepin this car for a while.

i regret getting an auto and the clear bra would probably have been a good idea. i also regret getting the cargo net in the trunk because my golf clubs broke it the first time they went in the trunk

I regret not saving any of my money and buying useless "performance" mods... If I had saved all my money and had just concentrated on leaving the car stock, I would be turbo'd right now and would now be concentrating on other things with the car!!!

I regret cutting up my front bumper for my turbo piping. Now that i've gotten rid of it, I HATE the way my front end looks. THat and my driver side fending lining got ripped off on the highway due to the faux vents being cut out for the my old turbo. Oh well, atleast it works now.

1) regret getting an extended warranty because i really dont want to go turbo while im still covered, JUST in case
2) regret crashing it a couple of weeks ago (the $3g i would have saved i could have done so much stuff!)
3) regret not taking off my front fender to install my CAI, thus scraping the crap outta the one piece of pipe and slightly outward-denting my quarter panel when i got so frustrated i tried to just smash it in there
4) regret not getting the TRD exhaust factory installed, though i'll probably save money by just buying it and doing it myself
think that's about it for now... my biggest regret has got to be crashing it, cause i just got it back yesterday and had totally forgotten how much fun it is to drive!

Going back to "fix" the paint on my gauge needles. Ended up destroying them and having to fabricate new stems to attach to '95 Eagle Talon guage needles...Plus the gas/temp needles are not set in the correct position so "R" really means "R" and slightly cool is normal operating temp =(. Now I can't go back and do 2-tone, unless I want to redo the needle stems again 
. Should have just left it the way it was.
