Worst : Subwoofers

In Between: SRT-4 Spoiler
Best : SRT-4 Seats, K&N Drop-In, Mopar SS Cat-back, Removing the resonator, Motegi FF6 Wheels, 1st Gen Springs

I have been pretty happy with all my mods, besides buying worthless car audio components. I never turn my subs on anymore, they are coming out once it gets warm and will be for sale on this board.

Id have to say my exhaust was quite overpriced considering it required some work to get it to fit. they seem to have sent me the wrong midpipe (though its bends were correct, the slip-fit on the cat side was the wrong diam). after spending over 600 dollars on an exhaust that was expensive in the first place, i felt like the money could have been spent much better elsewhere, or on a custom exhaust.

other than that, though I hate to admit it, buying my cf stuff was a bit silly looking back. The gas door especially. :oops: Not quite worth its weight in gold. oh well live and learn.

I only wish i had the money to make some more mistakes haha. at least being broke prevents me from buying any other useless gear. :)

I would say the 700 I spent on Carbon by design CF pieces. Quality and fitment is horrible.....

I dunno, I would say I everything I have bought would have bought me enough parts to piece together a nice turbo kit. :D So yeah, all of it was unecessary.

since i didnt list the best part i have bought yet:

best part is my mpx 60mm throttle body

the throttle response is amazing. i have no idea how i could ever drive without it.
Nothing makes people doubt the american education system like seeing a psycho driving a customized dodge neon.
