This isn't about which mod is necessarily the most effective performance-wise or the best looking appearance-wise. I'm wondering which of your mods either suprised you the most (it did a lot more than expected) or maybe you did something new mechanically that suprised you the most.
I've suprised myself on a bunch of things. I hadn't really modded cars for like 20 years so when I bought the Elantra I figured maybe a few appearance mods here and there. But I've done a fair amount of performance modding too. Two things I guess gave me a lot of satisfaction. One was doing that bumper cutout and coming up with the black molding idea. But my most satisfying was probably the Isotta e-brake. It took a lot of balls to cut away my perfectly good stock e-brake: But the final results were really satisfying: What was your most "satisfying" mod? -------------------- |

I keep looking at that writup Mitch, and keep telling myself "I just don't want to destroy my handle" so I never do it. I have even gotten on e-bay and found the same handle boot.
Probably the 1 I like most is my front map lights on with the door open. It really suprised me how much I like having more light there in the early morning when I go to work and at night if I am looking for something. -------------------- "Those who yell the loudest about how unfair the world treated them are usually the reason for the treatment in the first place".

I'll go with the TWM short shifter, because it was my first significant mod that I did myself, like... ever. So it took some courage again, to disassemble the shifter and believe I could put it all back together without help. The results were great too.

As I don't have many... The Tibby sway is my pick. The runner up is my wheels and rubber at 42mm offset. I would like many more, but a house is in the future for me!

Shifter extension - so much better than stock. Tight, and solid.
