Mods you regret... Just a poll of the mods that made your stomach hurt after a few weeks or months...
I have to regret of course my 1st gen Donut Euros. They didnt even last a whole damn year before they started showing water damage. Could've used that $200 on JL components.

Rep Power: 0 I DIY-ed black housing headlights and when i went to clena the excess paint that had gotten onto the lense i grabbed LACQUER(sp?) thinner isnetad of paint thinner. It specifically said don't use on plastics. Well, as a result, i now have 2 smudges inside the lense of my headlight. 
Oh well, they still look badass and i don't think anyone relaly notices them except for me.

I regret going with the Neuspeed Sport springs instead of the Race. I thought my struts would last a little longer, but they still blew 2 months later. I could have just bought the Race and be lower.

Rep Power: 397 I would have to say my xenon front bumper. It costed too much money to paint it, then it wasnt prepped right and the paint started chipping off, then after I installed it....It never fit right....and finally the snow plow came down my block and pushed massive amounts of snow into my front bumper, cracking it off....grrr....Had to put my stock bumper on in the snow

Rep Power: 402 if i could go back i'd go with the type-s instead of civic even though my insurance would be almost as much as my car note....i got a fatty raise at my job AFTER i already bought my car!
My generic intake.......and the piping for my flowmaster + tip..the flowmaster sounds clean and awesome...just like the RSR(but deeper) but they fvcked up the piping and it sounds raspy at 4k...Its not supposed to...Well there's 120 bucks down the drain...im getting new piping soon....

Rep Power: 0 Should have waited a bit longer and bought a better car lol. Other than that nothing really might be buying a type S so that should be taking care of. Mods I like everything i've done nothing has gone wrong except a couple blown shocks

Rep Power: 0 i dont really regret anything. but i know in a few years, we mostl likely will all regret more stuff that we spent on our cars. i know that when i see like a 92 civic or something w/all kinds of mods, its like "oh man, what a waste of money" but one day, ours will look like that too. people think im stupid for spending money like i do on my car (which is nothing compared to some of you guys, i know), but i look at it this way. instead of going out every single weekend, spending $30 a night at a club, i use that money for stuff for my car, and i have something to show for it. and im a girl (as im sure my name gave you a big hint), and it feels damn good when guys come up and tell me how good my car looks. because they expect a guy to be driving it. :-) Just thought i'd share.

Rep Power: 0 not to happy bout my body kit. more hassles then i need, its still new and my bank book is black and blue, who knows, maybe next summer i'll look at it and say it was money well spent, or not feel so bad bout it. but for now i'll have to get used to the idea. doing it again i woulda just gone oem and dropped it 1 1/2 inches. clean and no hassles, plus boosts resale value anyways thats my thoughs
