what is YOUR first mod?

What's the first thing you modded on your car... be it stereo, lights, rims, whatever... what was the first thing you changed on your car. If you bought the car modded, what did it come with and what have you changed since?

No matter what car I drive, the first order of business is to sort out the suspension and to make sure it runs well.

1st mod on my Civic was Suspension Techiques 2.5 inch drop springs and Razo pedals. Bought them at Options Auto Saloon in Cali cuz no one in Canada carried perf parts at the time. Car was a couple of months old, the year was 1998.

I bought a aem cold air intake for my car from Perforamnce improvements on the Queensway.

the year was 2002...

since then I've given away the intake I have 6 sets of rims and tires and a roll cage and tokico illumina shocks....and a corvette blue paint job

kinda funny that my plans in 2002 were to get the intake then do the header and exhuast ... amazing how they change when you start racing. (and constantly fixing the car... there isn't an area I haven't fixed something, be it brakes, suspension, engine, body)

(I dont count these as mods, but they were): Pedals then shift ****.

My first "real" mod was the drop, then rims tires, then short shifter.

Faux Carbon Fiber Shift ****! Two years ago on my first car.

On the second car, I swapped in my ol' Type R seats, stereo and rims from the first one, then added amber corners, and thats how she stands now.
