Thankfully there were sites like this one and (my main online ***** site) ClubEL, where I learned my lesson and my taste in styling developed before I actually went out and bought stupid stuff.
That said, I still regret buying that yellow Ignited switch. I shoulda waited so I could grab the red one to go with my others.

Rep Power: 279 my friend insists he has style... he drives a black 99 altima automatic with purple tinted-fake-as-hell-HID things, red LED washers, blue neon, 15" chrome wheels, mirror tint, blue turn signals, red under dash neon, altezza tails, and an LED exhaust tip.
to this day, i wonder why none of my style has rubbed off on him.
my 1 and only stupid mistake was buying an aluminum wing for my old accord before the first fast and the furious, but waiting to put it on until after.

Rep Power: 424 Thankfully I don't have to live with any stupid screwups. At one point I had a leather steering wheel cover. Not bad, except it was black w/ red sides. Had a matching Momo **** that was black with red trim. The coolness wore off in about 3 weeks, took the wheel cover off, changed the **** to raw aluminum and black leather, the only thing I'm stuck with is red nubbies in the pedals, but they're so dirty now you can't tell. I regret the Injen because it was $196 for a stick that apparently didn't fit in the car right, now its the worlds most expensive pipe elbow. And then there's the orange wheels.... oh wait, I don't regret them... they're so ugly even the ricers don't want them

Rep Power: 0 That O2 simulator from BigJoshRacing, I don't know many that it worked for, the Mugen bar for the DC5, no it didbolt right up but I made it fit, he he, an dthe high flow cat from ebay, it said it was for my car but I didn't even think about the downpipe on my EX, soo I had to cut and weld. The worst was a Skunk2 **** I bought from a guy on ebay again, he said it was slightly used and in great shape, when I finallt got the bastard it was soo gunked up and most off the finish was off it, it still works though-----live and learn-----
my first car was a 90 civic hatch.... it was so ghetto, I had an apr aluminum roof wing, 16" chrome wheels, yellow stickers all over I just laugh when I think of that car now

Rep Power: 0 Tezzas as well, Wasting money on Bolt-ons should have just put it towards boost setup. Other than that nothing really except for the fact that it's automatic 
. It's all good I have a project hatch i'm working on so the 2k1 will probably be turned into a show car or might get a New EL instead still uncertain :S.
